   Section  1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "marihuana
 regulation and taxation act".
   §  2.  Legislative  findings  and intent.   The legislature finds that
 existing marihuana laws have not been beneficial to the welfare  of  the
 general public. Existing laws have been ineffective in reducing or curb-
 ing  marihuana  use  and have instead resulted in devastating collateral
 consequences that inhibit an otherwise law-abiding citizen's ability  to
 access  housing,  employment  opportunities,  and  other vital services.
 Existing laws have also created an illicit  market  which  represents  a
 threat  to  public  health and reduces the ability of the legislature to
 deter the accessing of marihuana by minors. Existing marihuana laws have
 also disproportionately impacted African-American  and  Latino  communi-
 ties.
   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 twenty-one  years,
 reduce  the illegal drug market and reduce violent crime, reduce partic-
 ipation of otherwise law-abiding citizens in the illicit market, end the
 racially disparate impact of existing  marihuana  laws  and  create  new
 industries and increase employment.
   Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority of any district
 government  agency  or office or 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 smok-
 ing tobacco is prohibited, or to require any individual to engage in any
 conduct that violates federal law or to exempt anyone from any  require-
 ment  of  federal law or pose any obstacle to the federal enforcement of
 federal law.
   Nothing in this act is intended to limit any privileges or rights of a
 medical marihuana patient or medical marihuana caregiver under  the  New
 York Compassionate Care Act.

 presented such an evaluation is not necessary, in which case  the  court
 shall  state on the record the basis for such determination. Payment for
 such evaluation shall be made by such person. If, based on  such  evalu-
 ation,  a  need  for  treatment  is indicated, such person may choose to
 participate in a treatment plan developed  by  an  agency  certified  or
 licensed  by  the  office of alcoholism and substance abuse services. If
 such person elects to participate in recommended  treatment,  the  court
 shall order that payment of such fine and community service be suspended

 program established pursuant to subdivision twelve of section  seventeen

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

 person  of  obtaining such license, in accordance with the following and
 for the following periods, if it is found that a  driver's  license  was
 used  for  the  purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to illegally
 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

 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

 A. 3506--A                         17
 
 provisions, any such affirmative defense shall not be applicable in  any
 other civil or criminal proceeding, or in any other forum.

 birth,  (iii)  driver's license or non-driver identification number, and

 govern  the  recording  and  maintenance  of these records by a licensee
 under this chapter. The liquor authority and the commissioner of  health
 shall  jointly  promulgate  any  regulations necessary to ensure quality
 control in the use of transaction scan devices.
   8. A licensee or agent or employee of such licensee shall only use the
 information recorded and maintained through the use of such devices  for
 the  purposes  contained  in  paragraph (a) of subdivision seven of this
 section, and shall only use such devices for the purposes  contained  in
 subdivision  two  of this section. No licensee or agent or employee of a
 licensee shall resell or disseminate  the  information  recorded  during
 such  scan  to any third person. Such prohibited resale or dissemination
 includes, but is not limited to, any advertising,  marketing  or  promo-
 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
 the release of such information.  Each  violation  of  this  subdivision
 shall  be  punishable  by  a civil penalty of not more than one thousand
 dollars.

   4. No such determination shall operate as a  disqualification  of  any
 such person subsequently to hold public office, public employment, or as
 a forfeiture of any right or privilege or to receive any license granted
 by  public authority; and no such person shall be denominated a criminal
 by reason of such determination, nor shall such determination be  deemed
 a conviction.
   5.  Whenever a peace officer as defined in subdivision thirty-three of
 section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law or police officer as  defined
 in subdivision thirty-four of section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law

 to read as follows:
   1.  Upon or after arraignment in a local criminal court upon an infor-
 mation, a prosecutor's information or a misdemeanor complaint, where the
 sole remaining count or counts  charge  a  violation  or  violations  of
 section  [221.05,  221.10, 221.15, 221.35 or 221.40] 221.45 of the penal
 law, OR UPON SUMMONS FOR A NUISANCE OFFENSE UNDER  SECTION  SIXTY-FIVE-C
 OF  THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL LAW and before the entry of a plea of
 guilty thereto or commencement of   a trial  thereof,  the  court,  upon
 motion  of  a defendant, may order that all proceedings be suspended and

 A. 3506--A                         55
 
 the action adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, or  upon  a  finding
 that  adjournment  would not be necessary or appropriate and the setting
 forth in the record of the reasons for such  findings,  may  dismiss  in
 furtherance  of  justice  the  accusatory instrument; provided, however,
 that the court may  not  order  such  adjournment  in  contemplation  of
 dismissal or dismiss the accusatory instrument if: (a) the defendant has
 previously  been granted such adjournment in contemplation of dismissal,
 or (b) the defendant has previously been granted a dismissal under  this
 section,  or  (c)  the  defendant  has  previously been convicted of any
 offense involving controlled substances, or (d) the defendant has previ-
 ously been convicted of a crime  and  the  district  attorney  does  not

 PROCEEDINGS  BE  SUSPENDED  AND THE ACTION ADJOURNED IN CONTEMPLATION OF
 DISMISSAL  BASED  UPON  A  FINDING  OF  EXCEPTIONAL  CIRCUMSTANCES.  FOR
 PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION,  EXCEPTIONAL  CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST WHEN,
 REGARDLESS OF THE ULTIMATE DISPOSITION OF THE CASE, THE ENTRY OF A  PLEA
 OF GUILTY IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN SEVERE COLLATERAL CONSEQUENCES, INCLUD-
 ING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE THAT COULD LEAVE A NONCITIZEN INADMISSI-
 BLE OR REMOVABLE FROM THE UNITED STATES.
   2.  Upon ordering the action adjourned in contemplation of  dismissal,
 the  court  must  set and specify such conditions for the adjournment as
 may be appropriate, and such conditions may include placing the  defend-
 ant  under the supervision of any public or private agency.  At any time
 prior to dismissal the court may modify  the  conditions  or  extend  or
 reduce  the  term  of  the  adjournment, except that the total period of
 adjournment shall not exceed [twelve] SIX months.  Upon violation of any
 condition fixed by the court, the court may revoke its order and restore
 the case to the calendar and the prosecution thereupon must proceed.  If
 the case is not so restored to the calendar during the period  fixed  by
 the court, the accusatory instrument is, at the expiration of such peri-
 od, deemed to have been dismissed in the furtherance of justice.
   §  37.  Section  210.46  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 chapter 360 of the laws of 1977, is amended to read as follows:

 law  and before the entry of a plea of guilty thereto or commencement of
 a  trial  thereof, the court, upon motion of a defendant, may order that
 all proceedings be suspended and the action adjourned  in  contemplation
 of dismissal or may dismiss the indictment in furtherance of justice, in
 accordance with the provisions of section 170.56 of this chapter.

 criminal  procedure  law, paragraph (h) as amended by chapter 332 of the
 laws of 2010 and paragraph (i) as amended by chapter 368 of the laws  of

 compelling prostitution crime or has sought services for victims of such
 trafficking  or  compelling  prostitution  crime,  subject to reasonable
 concerns for the safety of the defendant, family members of the  defend-
 ant,  or  other  victims  of such trafficking or compelling prostitution
 crime that may be jeopardized by the bringing of  such  motion,  or  for
 other reasons consistent with the purpose of this paragraph; and
   (ii)  official  documentation of the defendant's status as a victim of
 trafficking, compelling prostitution or trafficking in  persons  at  the

 ling  prostitution  or trafficking in persons, but shall not be required
 for granting a motion under this paragraph[.]; OR

   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".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent.    The  legislature  finds  that
 existing  marihuana  laws have not been beneficial to the welfare of the
 general public. Existing laws have been ineffective in reducing or curb-
 ing marihuana use and have instead resulted  in  devastating  collateral
 consequences  that inhibit an otherwise law-abiding citizen's ability to
 access housing, employment  opportunities,  and  other  vital  services.
 Existing  laws  have  also  created an illicit market which represents a
 threat to public health and reduces the ability of  the  legislature  to
 deter the accessing of marihuana by minors. Existing marihuana laws have
 also  disproportionately  impacted  African-American and Latino communi-
 ties.
   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 twenty-one years,
 reduce the illegal drug market and reduce violent crime, reduce  partic-
 ipation of otherwise law-abiding citizens in the illicit market, end the
 racially  disparate  impact  of  existing  marihuana laws and create new
 industries and increase employment.
   Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority of any district
 government agency or office or 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 smok-
 ing tobacco is prohibited, or to require any individual to engage in any
 conduct  that violates federal law or to exempt anyone from any require-

 guilty thereto or commencement of   a trial  thereof,  the  court,  upon
 motion  of  a defendant, may order that all proceedings be suspended and
 the action adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, or  upon  a  finding
 that  adjournment  would not be necessary or appropriate and the setting
 forth in the record of the reasons for such  findings,  may  dismiss  in
 furtherance  of  justice  the  accusatory instrument; provided, however,

 or (b) the defendant has previously been granted a dismissal under  this
 section,  or  (c)  the  defendant  has  previously been convicted of any

 ING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE THAT COULD LEAVE A NONCITIZEN INADMISSI-
 BLE OR REMOVABLE FROM THE UNITED STATES.

 the  court  must  set and specify such conditions for the adjournment as

 may be appropriate, and such conditions may include placing the  defend-
 ant  under the supervision of any public or private agency.  At any time
 prior to dismissal the court may modify  the  conditions  or  extend  or
 reduce  the  term  of  the  adjournment, except that the total period of
 adjournment shall not exceed [twelve] SIX months.  Upon violation of any
 condition fixed by the court, the court may revoke its order and restore
 the case to the calendar and the prosecution thereupon must proceed.  If
 the case is not so restored to the calendar during the period  fixed  by
 the court, the accusatory instrument is, at the expiration of such peri-
 od, deemed to have been dismissed in the furtherance of justice.

 titution) or 230.00 (prostitution) or 230.03 (prostitution in  a  school

 penal  law,  aggravated  labor  trafficking  under section 135.37 of the
 penal law, compelling prostitution under section  230.33  of  the  penal

 trafficking or compelling  prostitution  crime,  subject  to  reasonable
 concerns  for the safety of the defendant, family members of the defend-
 ant, or other victims of such  trafficking  or  compelling  prostitution

 other reasons consistent with the purpose of this paragraph; and
   (ii) official documentation of the defendant's status as a  victim  of
 trafficking,  compelling  prostitution  or trafficking in persons at the
 time of the offense from a federal, state  or  local  government  agency

 ling prostitution or trafficking in persons, but shall not  be  required
 for granting a motion under this paragraph[.]; OR

   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".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent.    The  legislature  finds  that
 existing  marihuana  laws have not been beneficial to the welfare of the
 general public. Existing laws have been ineffective in reducing or curb-
 ing marihuana use and have instead resulted  in  devastating  collateral
 consequences  that inhibit an otherwise law-abiding citizen's ability to
 access housing, employment  opportunities,  and  other  vital  services.
 Existing  laws  have  also  created an illicit market which represents a
 threat to public health and reduces the ability of  the  legislature  to
 deter the accessing of marihuana by minors. Existing marihuana laws have
 also  disproportionately  impacted  African-American and Latino communi-
 ties.
   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 twenty-one years,
 reduce the illegal drug market and reduce violent crime, reduce  partic-
 ipation of otherwise law-abiding citizens in the illicit market, end the
 racially  disparate  impact  of  existing  marihuana laws and create new
 industries and increase employment.
   Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority of any district
 government agency or office or 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 smok-
 ing tobacco is prohibited, or to require any individual to engage in any
 conduct  that violates federal law or to exempt anyone from any require-
 ment of federal law or pose any obstacle to the federal  enforcement  of
 federal law.
   Nothing in this act is intended to limit any privileges or rights of a
 medical  marihuana  patient or medical marihuana caregiver under the New
 York Compassionate Care Act.
   It is the intent of this act that no child shall be the subject  of  a
 child  neglect  or  abuse  investigation or proceeding based solely on a
 parent's alleged use of marihuana. A newborn child's positive toxicology
 result for marihuana, is not sufficient on its own to support a  finding
 of  child  neglect  or abuse. Enactment of this act shall provide suffi-
 cient basis for New York state to favorably resolve open  investigations
 and  to  amend and seal individuals' family court records and records of
 indicated child abuse or neglect  reports  currently  in  the  statewide
 central register of child abuse and maltreatment based solely on the use
 of  marihuana  or where the reporter of suspected abuse or neglect was a
 law enforcement agency or staff person and the report was  based  solely
 upon the presence of a child during a marihuana-related arrest.

 required by subdivision two of this section or  as  a  precondition  for
 admission to an establishment licensed for the on-premises sale of alco-

 the  attempted  purchase of the alcoholic beverage OR MARIHUANA PRODUCTS
 shall be denied.

 seventeen of this chapter where such program is located within a reason-

 a disqualification of  any  such  person  subsequently  to  hold  public

 person  of  obtaining such license, in accordance with the following and
 for the following periods, if it is found that a  driver's  license  was
 used  for  the  purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to illegally
 purchase; provided, however, that where a person is  sentenced  pursuant
 to  paragraph (b) or (c) of subdivision three of this section, the court
 shall impose such license suspension if it  is  found  that  a  driver's

   7. (a) In any  proceeding  pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of  section

 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
 other civil or criminal proceeding, or in any other forum.

 action  scan  necessary to effectuate the purposes of this section. Such

 birth,  (iii)  driver's license or non-driver identification number, and

 under this chapter. The liquor authority and the commissioner of  health
 shall  jointly  promulgate  any  regulations necessary to ensure quality
 control in the use of transaction scan devices.
   8. A licensee or agent or employee of such licensee shall only use the
 information recorded and maintained through the use of such devices  for
 the  purposes  contained  in  paragraph (a) of subdivision seven of this
 section, and shall only use such devices for the purposes  contained  in
 subdivision  two  of this section. No licensee or agent or employee of a
 licensee shall resell or disseminate  the  information  recorded  during
 such  scan  to any third person. Such prohibited resale or dissemination
 includes, but is not limited to, any advertising,  marketing  or  promo-
 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
 the release of such information.  Each  violation  of  this  subdivision
 shall  be  punishable  by  a civil penalty of not more than one thousand
 dollars.

   1.  Upon or after arraignment in a local criminal court upon an infor-
 mation, a prosecutor's information or a misdemeanor complaint, where the
 sole remaining count or counts  charge  a  violation  or  violations  of
 section  [221.05,  221.10, 221.15, 221.35 or 221.40] 221.45 of the penal

 guilty thereto or commencement of   a trial  thereof,  the  court,  upon
 motion  of  a defendant, may order that all proceedings be suspended and
 the action adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, or  upon  a  finding
 that  adjournment  would not be necessary or appropriate and the setting
 forth in the record of the reasons for such  findings,  may  dismiss  in
 furtherance  of  justice  the  accusatory instrument; provided, however,
 that the court may  not  order  such  adjournment  in  contemplation  of
 dismissal or dismiss the accusatory instrument if: (a) the defendant has

 the court must set and specify such conditions for  the  adjournment  as
 may  be appropriate, and such conditions may include placing the defend-
 ant under the supervision of any public or private agency.  At any  time
 prior  to  dismissal  the  court  may modify the conditions or extend or
 reduce the term of the adjournment, except  that  the  total  period  of
 adjournment shall not exceed [twelve] SIX months.  Upon violation of any
 condition fixed by the court, the court may revoke its order and restore
 the case to the calendar and the prosecution thereupon must proceed.  If
 the  case  is not so restored to the calendar during the period fixed by
 the court, the accusatory instrument is, at the expiration of such peri-
 od, deemed to have been dismissed in the furtherance of justice.

 all  proceedings  be suspended and the action adjourned in contemplation
 of dismissal or may dismiss the indictment in furtherance of justice, in

 time  of  the  offense  from a federal, state or local government agency
 shall create a presumption that the  defendant's  participation  in  the
 offense was a result of having been a victim of sex trafficking, compel-
 ling  prostitution  or trafficking in persons, but shall not be required
 for granting a motion under this paragraph[.]; OR
