   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
 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 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.

 ation, a need for treatment is indicated,  such  person  may  choose  to
 participate  in  a  treatment  plan  developed by an agency certified or

 supreme court law library is available in a certain county, to the coun-
 ty court law library of such county, a list  of  agencies  certified  to
 perform  evaluations  as required by subdivision (f) of section 19.07 of
 the mental hygiene law.
   (iv) All evaluations required under this subdivision shall be in writ-
 ing and the person so evaluated or his or her counsel  shall  receive  a

   (v)  A minor evaluated under this subdivision shall have, and shall be

 program established pursuant to subdivision twelve of section  seventeen
 of  this chapter where such program is located within a reasonably close
 proximity to the locality in which the offender is employed or resides.
   5. No determination of guilt pursuant to this section 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.
   6.  In  addition  to  the  penalties otherwise provided in subdivision
 three of this section, if a determination is made sustaining a charge of
 illegally purchasing or attempting to illegally  purchase  an  alcoholic
 beverage  OR  MARIHUANA  PRODUCTS,  the  court may suspend such person's
 license to drive a motor vehicle and  the  privilege  of  an  unlicensed
 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
 license  was used for the purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to
 illegally purchase:
   (a) For a first violation of paragraph (a) of subdivision two of  this
 section, a three month suspension.

   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

 A. 3506                            17
 
 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.
   (b)  A  licensee or agent or employee of a licensee may electronically
 or mechanically record and maintain only the information from  a  trans-
 action  scan  necessary to effectuate the purposes of this section. Such
 information shall be limited to the following: (i) name,  (ii)  date  of
 birth,  (iii)  driver's license or non-driver identification number, and
 (iv) expiration date. The liquor authority and the state commissioner of
 motor vehicles shall jointly  promulgate  any  regulation  necessary  to
 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.

   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.
   § 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

 required by subdivision two of this section or  as  a  precondition  for
 admission to an establishment licensed for the on-premises sale of alco-
 holic  beverages  OR MARIHUANA PRODUCTS where admission is restricted to
 persons twenty-one years or older.
   2. (a) No person under the age of twenty-one years  shall  present  or

 proximity to the locality in which the offender resides or matriculates,
 as appropriate.
   (c) For third and subsequent violations, the court shall order payment
 of a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor  more  than  seven  hundred

 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

 program established pursuant to subdivision twelve of section  seventeen
 of  this chapter where such program is located within a reasonably close
 proximity to the locality in which the offender is employed or resides.
   5. No determination of guilt pursuant to this section 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.
   6.  In  addition  to  the  penalties otherwise provided in subdivision
 three of this section, if a determination is made sustaining a charge of

 beverage  OR  MARIHUANA  PRODUCTS,  the  court may suspend such person's
 license to drive a motor vehicle and  the  privilege  of  an  unlicensed
 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
 license  was used for the purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to
 illegally purchase:

   7. (a) In any  proceeding  pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of  section
 sixty-five of this article, it shall be an affirmative defense that such
 person had produced a driver's license or non-driver identification card
 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

 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.

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

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

 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.

 A. 3506--A                         55

 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.

   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.
   § 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,
 25, 26, 28, 29 and 30 as renumbered by chapter 537 of the laws of  1998,
 subdivisions 9 and 10 as amended and subdivisions 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39
 and  40  as  added  by chapter 178 of the laws of 2010, paragraph (a) of
 subdivision 20, the opening paragraph of subdivision 22 and  subdivision
 29  as  amended  by  chapter  163 of the laws of 1973, subdivision 31 as

 vision 41 as added by section 6 of part A of chapter 447 of the laws  of

 required  by  subdivision  two  of this section or as a precondition for

 as appropriate.
   (c) For third and subsequent violations, the court shall order payment
 of  a  fine  of  not less than fifty dollars nor more than seven hundred

 license to drive a motor vehicle and  the  privilege  of  an  unlicensed
 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

 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
 other civil or criminal proceeding, or in any other forum.
   (b)  A  licensee or agent or employee of a licensee may electronically

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

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

 subdivision  two  of this section. No licensee or agent or employee of a

 A. 3506--B                         18
 
 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.

 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
 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

 offender on the basis of any act or acts involving controlled substances

 TIONS SET FORTH IN THIS  SUBDIVISION,  THE  COURT  MAY  ORDER  THAT  ALL
 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

 A. 3506--B                         57
 
 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.
