  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
  law,  in relation to providing for the licensure of persons authorized
  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,
  221.25,  221.30,  221.50  and  221.55 of the penal law relating to the

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

  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-

A. 8341                             2

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.

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

person shall be denominated a criminal by reason of such determination.

purchase; provided, however, that where a person is  sentenced  pursuant
to  paragraph (b) or (c) of subdivision three of this section, the court

apparently issued by a governmental entity, successfully  completed  the
transaction  scan, and that the alcoholic beverage OR MARIHUANA PRODUCTS
had been sold, delivered or given to such person in reasonable  reliance
upon  such identification and transaction scan. In evaluating the appli-
cability of such affirmative defense, the liquor  authority  shall  take
into  consideration  any  written  policy adopted and implemented by the
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
provisions,  any such affirmative defense shall not be applicable in any

tional activities. Notwithstanding  the  restrictions  imposed  by  this
subdivision,  such  records  may be released pursuant to a court ordered
subpoena or pursuant to any other statute that  specifically  authorizes
