§  81.  Packaging,  labeling, and administration of adult-use cannabis
products. 1. The board is hereby  authorized  to  promulgate  rules  and
regulations  governing  the advertising, branding, marketing, packaging,
labeling and unconventional methods of administration or  ingestion,  of
cannabis  products,  sold  or  possessed  for  sale  in  New York state,
including rules pertaining to the  accuracy  of  information  and  rules
restricting marketing and advertising to youth.
  2.  Such  regulations  shall include, but not be limited to, requiring
that:
  (a) packaging  meets  requirements  similar  to  the  federal  "poison
prevention packaging act of 1970," 15 U.S.C. Sec 1471 et seq.;
  (b)  prior  to  delivery  or sale at a retailer, cannabis and cannabis
products shall be labeled according  to  regulations  and  placed  in  a
resealable, child-resistant package; and
  (c)  packages,  labels,  shapes  and  products shall not be made to be
attractive to or target persons under the age of twenty-one.
  3. Such regulations shall include requiring labels  warning  consumers
of  any  potential impact on human health resulting from the consumption
of cannabis products that shall be affixed to those products when  sold,
if  such  labels  are  deemed  warranted  by the board and may establish
standardized and/or uniform  packaging  and  labeling  requirements  for
adult-use products.
  4.  Such  rules and regulations shall establish methods and procedures
for determining serving sizes for  cannabis  products,  active  cannabis
concentration  per serving size, and number of servings per container or
package, and the methods of separating or clearly  delineating  servings
within  a  container  or  package.  Such  regulations may also require a
nutritional or supplement fact panel that  incorporates  data  regarding
serving sizes and potency thereof.
  5.  Such  rules and regulations shall establish approved product types
and forms and establish an application and review process  to  determine
the   suitability   of   new   product  types  and  forms,  taking  into
consideration the consumer and public health and safety implications  of
different  product varieties, manufacturing processes, product types and
forms, the means and methods of administration associated with  specific
product  types,  and  any  other  criteria  identified  by the board for
consideration to protect public health and safety.
  6. Such regulations shall also require product  labels  to  accurately
display the total THC of each product.
  7.  The packaging, sale, marketing, branding, advertising, labeling or
possession by any licensee  of  any  cannabis  product  not  labeled  or
offered   in  conformity  with  rules  and  regulations  promulgated  in
accordance with this section shall be grounds for the  imposition  of  a
fine,  and/or the suspension, revocation or cancellation of a license in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
