LA HB657

Louisiana Department of Health must charge an annual retail permit fee of $22,500 to each of the 10 authorized therapeutic marijuana retail permit holders, generating an estimated $225,000 in state revenue

Retail permits must be renewed annually upon proper application and payment of required fees

Department of Health must collect information from licensees including gross marijuana production amounts, production costs (seed, fertilizer, labor, advisory services, construction, irrigation), and subcontractor details

Reporting requirements include the amount of therapeutic chemicals produced and the amount of therapeutic marijuana distributed to each retail permit holder annually

Removes the previous requirement for licensees to report annual payments received related to therapeutic marijuana production
