The sponsor's argument
Why Jeremy Cooney says this is needed
New York's regulated cannabis market depends on fair enforcement and consistent oversight to protect licensed businesses, consumers, and public safety. Illegal and unlicensed operators undermine compliant businesses, evade regulatory requirements, and may sell untested or mislabeled products. This legislation clarifies the scope of the Office of Cannabis Management's authority to conduct administrative inspections and seize unlawful products when probable cause exists, while also requiring that such actions be carried out reasonably and within the bounds of the regulatory framework. Clear statutory authority will strengthen enforcement efforts and support the integrity of the legal marketplace.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
