Cannabis regulators in New York pitch new packaging, advertising rules

And a few new bills are introduced in the state Legislature.

Good afternoon — it’s Thursday, and Red Wine Day.

In today’s CapCon:

• New York’s cannabis regulators are proposing new rules for how products are packaged and advertised, including a billboard ban.

• The DCCC will be targeting Rep. Mike Lawler’s district with ads over the Labor Day weekend.

• Property and liability insurance is becoming increasingly expensive in New York. One lawmaker wants to take a closer look.

• A bill awaiting the governor’s consideration would allow more peer advocates in state prisons.

State agencies propose or adopt rules and regulations every week, but they often fly under the radar. This section features updates on rules and regs of interest.

🌱 Rules for how cannabis can be packaged and marketed

Agency: Office of Cannabis Management

Status: Revised Proposed Regulations (Public comment ends Oct. 11)

What it says: This is a revision to regulations proposed by the Office of Cannabis Management in April. These regulations were revised to reflect public comment from the first round.

There are already regulations in place for the packaging, labeling and marketing of cannabis products. This would amend what’s already in place.
