What A 8820 does, verified May 8, 2026
The bill aims to amend the state finance law and the cannabis law to improve record keeping and tracking of cannabis products. The bill requires cannabis licensees to adopt and maintain security, tracking, and record keeping systems for all cannabis products at every stage of the supply chain. These systems must track cannabis at the package level, not at the individual product unit level, and must include information such as all transactions and sales. The bill allows for the use of approved seed-to-sale tracking systems to compile cannabis inventory and transaction data. The bill takes effect immediately, with the goal of improving the efficiency and transparency of the cannabis industry.
