Amendment 23

Self Exclusion

Messrs. Keenan and Tarr move that the proposed new text be amended by adding after section __ the following section:-

"SECTION __. (a) The commission shall establish a list of self-excluded persons from cannabis establishments. A person may request such person's name to be placed on the list of self-excluded persons by filing a statement with the commission acknowledging that the person is a problem cannabis user and by agreeing that, during any period of voluntary exclusion, the person shall not purchase any products from any cannabis establishment. The commission shall adopt further regulations for the self-excluded persons list including procedures for placement, removal and transmittal of such list to cannabis establishments. The commission may revoke, limit, condition, suspend or fine a cannabis establishment if the establishment knowingly or recklessly fails to exclude or eject from its premises any person placed on the list of self-excluded persons.

(b) Notwithstanding any other general or special law to the contrary, the self-excluded persons list shall not be open to public inspection. Nothing in this section, however, shall prohibit a cannabis establishment from disclosing the identity of persons on the self-excluded persons list under this section to affiliated cannabis establishments in this commonwealth or other jurisdictions for the limited purpose of assisting in the proper administration of responsible cannabis sales operated by affiliated cannabis establishments."
