Official summary

Official text — shown in English exactly as published by the official source. The official text controls.

Current law imposes a tax on the first sale or transfer of unprocessed retail marijuana at a rate of 15% of the average market rate of the unprocessed retail marijuana. The 'average market rate' is currently defined as the average price, as determined by the department of revenue (department), of all unprocessed retail marijuana that is sold or transferred from retail marijuana cultivation facilities in the state to retail marijuana product manufacturing facilities or retail marijuana stores. The act specifies that 'outdoor unprocessed retail marijuana' is cultivated under natural sunlight and weather conditions without artificial light or structures, except under limited specified circumstances, and 'indoor unprocessed retail marijuana' is cultivated in any manner other than 'outdoor unprocessed retail marijuana.' The act also amends the existing definition of 'average market rate' to require separate rates for fresh frozen indoor unprocessed retail marijuana and fresh frozen outdoor unprocessed retail marijuana. The act requires the department to adopt rules to establish the rates for fresh frozen indoor unprocessed retail marijuana and fresh frozen outdoor unprocessed retail marijuana on or before July 1, 2027. In addition, the existing definition of 'average market rate' requires that unprocessed retail marijuana for extractions have a separate average market rate that is lower than the rate for unprocessed retail marijuana for direct sale to consumers. The act maintains this requirement. The act also requires the department to publish a general description of the methodology and data sources used to establish the rate for each average market rate category of unprocessed retail marijuana. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.

If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
