New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has recently signed several important bills into law, which include House Bill 10 aimed at enhancing the enforcement of cannabis regulations in the state. This new legislation will establish an enforcement bureau within the Cannabis Control Division (CCD), tasked with investigating potential criminal violations related to marijuana.
The newly formed enforcement bureau will empower CCD agents with significant authority. They will be able to search cannabis facilities, seize suspicious products, destroy illegal items, and make arrests when necessary. This move is seen as a response to the growing need for regulation within the fast-evolving cannabis market in New Mexico.
Governor Lujan Grisham’s actions come amid rising concerns about public safety and compliance in the cannabis industry. This legislation is expected to help ensure that cannabis businesses adhere to state laws and maintain product safety standards, which is crucial for protecting consumers and the integrity of the market.
