SECTION 82
Laboratory testing
Cannabis (CAN) CHAPTER 7-A, ARTICLE 4
§ 82. Laboratory testing. 1. Every processor of adult-use cannabis
shall contract with an independent laboratory permitted pursuant to
section one hundred twenty-nine of this chapter, to test the cannabis
products it produces pursuant to rules and regulations prescribed by the
office. The board may assign an approved testing laboratory, which the
processor of adult-use cannabis must use, and may establish consortia
with neighboring states, to inform best practices, and share laboratory
data.

2. Adult-use cannabis processors, microbusinesses, cooperatives and
registered organizations shall make laboratory test reports available to
licensed distributors, retail dispensaries, and on-site consumption
sites for all cannabis products manufactured by the processor or
licensee.

3. Licensed retail dispensaries shall maintain accurate documentation
of laboratory test reports for each cannabis product offered for sale to
cannabis consumers. Such documentation shall be made publicly available
by the licensed retail dispensary.

4. Onsite laboratory testing by licensees is permissible subject to
regulation; however, such testing shall not be certified by the board
and does not exempt the licensee from the requirements of quality
assurance testing at a testing laboratory pursuant to this section.

5. An owner of a cannabis laboratory testing permit shall not hold a
license, or interest in a license, in any other category within this
article and shall not own or have ownership interest in a registered
organization registered pursuant to article three of this chapter or a
cannabinoid hemp processor license pursuant to article five of this
chapter.

6. The board shall have the authority to require any licensee under
this article to submit cannabis or cannabis products to one or more
independent laboratories for testing and the board may promulgate
regulations related to all aspects of third-party testing and quality
assurance including but not limited to:

(a) minimum testing and sampling requirements;

(b) testing and sampling methodologies;

(c) testing reporting requirements;

(d) retesting; and

(e) product quarantine, hold, recall, and remediation.
