In 2016, Californians voted for cannabis legalization in large part to ensure consumer access to safe, tested cannabis products. However, limited regulations and enforcement have resulted in persistent testing fraud and inadequate product recall procedures, creating risks to medical marijuana patients and all cannabis consumers.

AB 1610 will protect cannabis consumers and the legal cannabis market by ensuring products are accurately labeled, and provide greater transparency in product testing. It will also strengthen product recall procedures and reporting for products found to contain dangerous levels of pesticides and other contaminants
