The bill is largely based on last year’s SB 1262 by former Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) and enjoys bipartisan support, as it has Assembly Member Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) as co-author. AB 266 embodies three fundamental priorities: advancing local control; protecting public safety; and protecting public health by creating uniform health and safety standards to ensure the safe, lawful distribution of medical marijuana in those cities and counties in which it is authorized.Assembly, Legislation, Marijuana Regulation, Public Safety 2015 Helen Putnam Call for Entries Period Now OpenDeadline to Submit, April 9It’s time to submit your city’s innovative program and compete for statewide recognition.
