 AN ACT to amend the cannabis law, in relation to authorizing conditional
   adult-use cultivator and processor licensees to sell tested, packaged,
   and sealed cannabis products and cannabis  to  a  cannabis  dispensing
   facility licensed by a tribal nation for retail sale
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as  the  "cannabis
 crop rescue act".
   §  2. Legislative findings. Chapter 18 of the laws of 2022 created the
 conditional adult-use cultivator license. Due to a  variety  of  circum-
 stances  beyond  the control of New York's cannabis farmers, many licen-
 sees cannot afford to process their  cannabis  or  sell  their  finished
 products.  As a result, their 2022 crops are losing value while in stor-
 age due to diminished potency, color and aroma.  Without sales, many are
 unable to plant a crop for the  upcoming  growing  season,  and  are  in
 severe financial stress.
   §  3.  Section  68-c  of  the  cannabis law is amended by adding a new
 subdivision 16 to read as follows:
   16.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF  THIS  CHAPTER,  A  CONDI-
 TIONAL ADULT-USE CULTIVATOR OR PROCESSOR LICENSEE SHALL BE AUTHORIZED TO
 SELL  TESTED,  PACKAGED,  AND SEALED CANNABIS PRODUCTS OR CANNABIS GROWN
 DURING THE  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY-TWO  GROWING  SEASON,  TO  A  CANNABIS
 DISPENSING FACILITY LICENSED BY A TRIBAL NATION FOR RETAIL SALE. NOTHING
 IN  THIS  SUBDIVISION  SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO ALTER, MODIFY, ABROGATE, OR
 OTHERWISE IMPEDE  OR  INTERFERE  WITH  SUCH  TRIBAL  NATION'S  SOVEREIGN
 AUTHORITY TO LICENSE, SELL, CULTIVATE, PROCESS, MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTE,
 DELIVER,  OR TRANSPORT CANNABIS PRODUCT ON OR AMONG ITS TERRITORIES. ANY
 PRODUCT SOLD BY A CONDITIONAL-USE CULTIVATOR OR PROCESSOR LICENSEE SHALL
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
