Summary of HD 2767: An Act to Create a Competitive Cannabis Testing Program

Purpose and Intent

HD 2767 is a proposed bill that aims to establish a competitive program for the testing of cannabis and cannabis products in the state. The main goal is to ensure the safety, quality, and consistency of cannabis sold to consumers by requiring all cannabis to undergo rigorous, independent laboratory testing before being made available for purchase.

Key Provisions

The bill would create a new state-run Cannabis Testing Commission to oversee and regulate the cannabis testing industry. Some of the key elements include:

  1. Mandatory Testing: All cannabis and cannabis products, including those for medical and adult-use, would be required to be tested by an accredited, independent laboratory before being sold.
  2. Licensing of Laboratories: The Commission would be responsible for licensing and certifying cannabis testing laboratories that meet stringent quality, safety, and operational standards.
  3. Testing Requirements: The bill specifies various testing requirements, including analyses for potency, contaminants, pesticides, and other key quality and safety metrics.
  4. Reporting and Transparency: Laboratories would be required to report all testing results to the Commission, which would then make the data publicly available in a searchable online database.
  5. Enforcement and Penalties: The Commission would have the authority to enforce compliance, including the ability to levy fines and suspend or revoke lab licenses for violations.

Affected Parties

The primary stakeholders impacted by this legislation would be:

  • Cannabis cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers, who would be required to use accredited labs for mandatory product testing
  • Cannabis consumers, who would benefit from increased product safety and transparency
  • The state's public health and regulatory agencies, which would gain a new tool to monitor the cannabis market
  • The emerging cannabis testing industry, which would see increased business opportunities and oversight

Timeline and Procedures

HD 2767 was introduced in the state legislature on February 27, 2025. After passing the House, the bill was recently concurred by the Senate, indicating that it has cleared both chambers.

If signed into law, the bill would take effect 90 days after passage. The Cannabis Testing Commission would then have 6 months to establish the necessary regulations, licensing procedures, and other implementation details before the mandatory testing requirements go into place.
