What it does
The bill stops state agencies from punishing insurance sellers. They can now sell coverage to pot shops and growers in states where pot is legal. It shields those sellers and their workers from state legal trouble. The bill requires a study on why Black-owned and women-owned pot shops struggle to get money help.
Who it affects
People in states where pot is legal can now buy coverage for their pot shops and land. Insurance sellers can sell this coverage without fear of state punishment.
One thing to notice
Pot stays against state law. This bill only stops the state from punishing insurance sellers who serve pot shops.
