CALIFORNIA SENATE PASSES DELIVERY BILL

The California Senate unanimously passed a third reading of bill AB-2255 Cannabis: distribution: deliveries: violations.  The bill prohibits a police officer from seizing cannabis products unless the seizure is authorized by law and the officer has probable cause to believe that a criminal cannabis violation has occurred. The bill also prohibits the transport of cannabis in excess of the amount contained in the shipping manifest, and clarifies that a cannabis delivery that occurs using a counterfeit shipping manifest will be illegal.  The bill allows police officers to issue citations for violating these requirements as prescribed by the Bureau of Cannabis Control.
