JUSTIFICATION:

Present law fails to prevent the trade and consumption of marihuana and has continued to foster a violent drug market that consumes millions of dollars in resources every year.

New York State Ranks 2nd of all 50 states in terms of Marihuana related arrests made per 100,000 people. In 2010, the NYPD made 50,300 marihuana related arrests. This number amounted to one out of every seven total arrests made, and $75 million was spent arresting and jailing mostly young people simply for possessing small amounts of marihuana.

The enforcement of present law has disproportionately effected AfricanAmerican and Latino communities; often giving first time, non-violent offenders, an extraneous criminal record. Government health surveys find that young whites use marihuana at higher rates than young blacks and Latinos. But the NYPD arrests blacks for marihuana possession at seven times the rate of whites and Latinos at nearly four times the rate of whites.

Aside from mitigating these issues, the regulation and taxation act will also help accrue revenue for the state; portions of which will go back (through government agencies and programs) to communities that have been impacted by present law.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

Increase revenue for state and local governments. Fiscal implication assumptions for similar legislation implemented in Colorado, Amendment 64, estimated an annual revenue increase of 5-22 million dollars and an annual spending increase of .5-1.5 million dollars. Given the larger

population of New York State this legislation should generate revenue substantially larger than these estimates.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately.

2013-2014 Regular Sessions

IN SENATE

December 11, 2013

___________

Introduced by Sen. KRUEGER — read twice and ordered printed, and when

printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules

AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to the description of

marihuana, and the growing of and use of marihuana by persons eighteen

years of age or older; to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in

relation to making technical changes regarding the definition of mari-

huana; to amend the penal law, in relation to the qualification of

certain offenses involving marihuana and to exempt certain persons

from prosecution for the use, consumption, display, production or

distribution of marihuana; to amend the alcoholic beverage control

to produce, process and sell marihuana; to amend the tax law, in

relation to providing for the levying of an excise tax on certain

in relation to making conforming changes; to repeal sections 221.10,

of subdivision 2 of section 850 of the general business law relating

to drug related paraphernalia

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “marihuana

regulation and taxation act”.

S 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that

decades of arresting marihuana users has failed to prevent marihuana use

or prevent minors from accessing marihuana. Existing marihuana laws have

created a violent, illegal drug market that consumes millions of dollars

in criminal justice resources each year. Existing marihuana laws have

also disproportionately impacted African-American and Latino communi-

ties. Regulating, controlling, and taxing marihuana like alcohol will

save criminal justice resources, reduce violent crime, reduce racial

disparities, and generate revenue.

Additionally, industrial hemp is produced in at least 30 nations and

used to create thousands of products including paper, textiles, food

oils, automotive parts, and personal care products. Hundreds of millions

of dollars of industrial hemp products are sold in the United States

each year.

The intent of this act is to regulate, control, and tax marihuana in a

manner similar to alcohol, generate millions of dollars in new revenue,

prevent access to marihuana by those under the age of eighteen years,

reduce the illegal drug market and reduce violent crime, reduce the

racially disparate impact of existing marihuana laws, allow industrial

hemp to be farmed in New York state, and create new industries and

increase employment.

Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority of employers to

enact and enforce policies pertaining to marihuana in the workplace, to

allow driving under the influence of marihuana, to allow individuals to

engage in conduct that endangers others, to allow smoking marihuana in

any location where smoking tobacco is prohibited, or to require any

individual to engage in any conduct that violates federal law or to

exempt anyone from any requirement of federal law or pose any obstacle

to the federal enforcement of federal law.

S 3. Section 3302 of the public health law, as added by chapter 878 of

the laws of 1972, subdivisions 1, 14, 16, 17 and 27 as amended and

subdivisions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,

subdivisions 9 and 10 as amended and subdivisions 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39

subdivision 20, the opening paragraph of subdivision 22 and subdivision

29 as amended by chapter 163 of the laws of 1973, subdivision 31 as

amended by section 4 of part A of chapter 58 of the laws of 2004 and

seller to carry out the provisions of this chapter. Use of a transaction

scan shall not excuse any licensee under this chapter, or agent or

employee of such licensee, from the exercise of reasonable diligence

otherwise required by this section. Notwithstanding the above
