| Introduced by Assembly Member Cunningham |

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1090, as amended, Cunningham.
Controlled substances. Marijuana use: location restrictions.
The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), an initiative statute enacted by the approval of Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person 21 years of age or older to possess and use specified amounts of marijuana. AUMA specifies that this authorization is not construed to permit a person to smoke marijuana or marijuana products within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center, or youth center while children are present at those locations. AUMA also specifies that possessing, smoking, or ingesting marijuana or marijuana products in or upon the grounds of a school, day care center, or youth center while children are present is not permitted. AUMA makes a violation of these location restrictions punishable as an infraction or a misdemeanor, as
specified. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend its provisions with a 2/3 vote of each house of the Legislature, provided that the amendments are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the act.
This bill would prohibit the possession, smoking, or ingesting of marijuana around a school, day care center, or youth center, as specified, regardless of whether children are present. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs
mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law classifies certain controlled substances into designated schedules and generally makes it a crime to possess or sell controlled substances.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to controlled substances.
