          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the  "marihuana
     2  regulation and taxation act".
     3    §  2.  Legislative  findings  and  intent.  The legislature finds that
     4  decades of arresting marihuana users has failed to prevent marihuana use
     5  or prevent minors from accessing marihuana. Existing marihuana laws have
     6  created a violent, illegal drug market that consumes millions of dollars
     7  in criminal justice resources each year.  Existing marihuana  laws  have

                                                                   LBD01895-04-5

        S. 1747                             2
 
     1  also  disproportionately  impacted  African-American and Latino communi-
     2  ties.  Regulating, controlling, and taxing marihuana like  alcohol  will
     3  save  criminal  justice  resources,  reduce violent crime, reduce racial
     4  disparities, and generate revenue.
     5    Additionally,  industrial  hemp is produced in at least 30 nations and
     6  used to create thousands of products  including  paper,  textiles,  food
     7  oils, automotive parts, and personal care products. Hundreds of millions
     8  of  dollars  of  industrial  hemp products are sold in the United States
     9  each year.
    10    The intent of this act is to regulate, control, and tax marihuana in a
    11  manner similar to alcohol, generate millions of dollars in new  revenue,
    12  prevent  access  to  marihuana by those under the age of eighteen years,
    13  reduce the illegal drug market and  reduce  violent  crime,  reduce  the
    14  racially  disparate  impact of existing marihuana laws, allow industrial
    15  hemp to be farmed in New York  state,  and  create  new  industries  and
    16  increase employment.
    17    Nothing in this act is intended to limit the authority of any district
    18  government  agency  or office or employers to enact and enforce policies
    19  pertaining to marihuana in the workplace, to  allow  driving  under  the
    20  influence  of  marihuana, to allow individuals to engage in conduct that
    21  endangers others, to allow smoking marihuana in any location where smok-
    22  ing tobacco is prohibited, or to require any individual to engage in any
    23  conduct that violates federal law or to exempt anyone from any  require-
    24  ment  of  federal law or pose any obstacle to the federal enforcement of
    25  federal law.
    26    Nothing in this act is intended to limit any privileges or rights of a
    27  medical marihuana patient or medical marihuana caregiver under  the  New
    28  York Compassionate Care Act.

    48    (b) No licensee, or agent or employee of such licensee shall accept as
    49  written evidence of age by any such person for the purchase of any alco-
    50  holic beverage or marihuana products, any documentation other than:  (i)
    51  a valid driver's license or non-driver identification card issued by the
    52  commissioner  of  motor  vehicles,  the  federal  government, any United

    11  scan  fails  to match the information printed on the driver's license or
    12  non-driver identification card presented by the card holder, or  if  the
    13  transaction  scan indicates that the information is false or fraudulent,
    14  the attempted purchase of the alcoholic beverage or  marihuana  products
    15  shall be denied.
    16    3.  A  person violating the provisions of paragraph (a) of subdivision
    17  two of this section  shall  be  guilty  of  a  violation  and  shall  be
    18  sentenced in accordance with the following:
    19    (a)  For a first violation, the court shall order payment of a fine of
    20  not more than one hundred dollars and/or an appropriate amount of commu-
    21  nity service not to exceed thirty hours.  In  addition,  the  court  may
    22  order completion of an alcohol awareness program established pursuant to
    23  section  19.25  of  the  mental  hygiene  law  or  a marihuana awareness
    24  program.
    25    (b) For a second violation, the court shall order payment of a fine of
    26  not less than fifty dollars nor more than three  hundred  fifty  dollars
    27  and/or  an  appropriate  amount of community service not to exceed sixty
    28  hours. The court also shall order completion of an alcohol or  marihuana
    29  awareness  program as referenced in paragraph (a) of this subdivision if
    30  such program has not previously been completed by the  offender,  unless
    31  the court determines that attendance at such program is not feasible due
    32  to  the  lack  of availability of such program within a reasonably close
    33  proximity to the locality in which the offender resides or matriculates,
    34  as appropriate.
    35    (c) For third and subsequent violations, the court shall order payment
    36  of a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor  more  than  seven  hundred
    37  fifty  dollars  and/or an appropriate amount of community service not to
    38  exceed ninety hours. The court also shall order that such person  submit
    39  to  an  evaluation by an appropriate agency certified or licensed by the
    40  office of alcoholism and substance abuse services to  determine  whether
    41  the person suffers from the disease of alcoholism or alcohol or marihua-
    42  na  abuse,  unless  the  court  determines  that under the circumstances
    43  presented such an evaluation is not necessary, in which case  the  court
    44  shall  state on the record the basis for such determination. Payment for
    45  such evaluation shall be made by such person. If, based on  such  evalu-
    46  ation,  a  need  for  treatment  is indicated, such person may choose to
    47  participate in a treatment plan developed  by  an  agency  certified  or
    48  licensed  by  the  office of alcoholism and substance abuse services. If
    49  such person elects to participate in recommended  treatment,  the  court
    50  shall order that payment of such fine and community service be suspended
    51  pending the completion of such treatment.
    52    (d)  Evaluation  procedures.  For  purposes  of  this subdivision, the
    53  following shall apply:
    54    (i) The contents of an evaluation pursuant to paragraph  (c)  of  this
    55  subdivision  shall  be  used for the sole purpose of determining if such

        S. 1747                            15
 
     1  person suffers from the disease of alcoholism or  alcohol  or  marihuana
     2  abuse.
     3    (ii)  The  agency  designated  by the court to perform such evaluation
     4  shall conduct the evaluation and return the results to the court  within
     5  thirty  days,  subject to any state or federal confidentiality law, rule
     6  or regulation governing the confidentiality  of  alcohol  and  substance
     7  abuse treatment records.
     8    (iii) The office of alcoholism and substance abuse services shall make
     9  available  to  each  supreme  court law library in this state, or, if no
    10  supreme court law library is available in a certain county, to the coun-
    11  ty court law library of such county, a list  of  agencies  certified  to
    12  perform  evaluations  as required by subdivision (f) of section 19.07 of
    13  the mental hygiene law.
    14    (iv) All evaluations required under this subdivision shall be in writ-
    15  ing and the person so evaluated or his or her counsel  shall  receive  a
    16  copy of such evaluation prior to its use by the court.
    17    (v)  A minor evaluated under this subdivision shall have, and shall be
    18  informed by the court of, the right to obtain a second opinion regarding
    19  his or her need for alcoholism or substance abuse treatment.
    20    4. A person violating the provisions of paragraph (b)  of  subdivision
    21  two  of this section shall be guilty of a violation punishable by a fine
    22  of not more than one hundred dollars, and/or an  appropriate  amount  of
    23  community service not to exceed thirty hours. In addition, the court may
    24  order  completion  of  an  alcohol or substance abuse training awareness
    25  program established pursuant to subdivision twelve of section  seventeen
    26  of  this chapter where such program is located within a reasonably close
    27  proximity to the locality in which the offender is employed or resides.
    28    5. No determination of guilt pursuant to this section shall operate as
    29  a disqualification of  any  such  person  subsequently  to  hold  public
    30  office,  public employment, or as a forfeiture of any right or privilege
    31  or to receive any license granted  by  public  authority;  and  no  such
    32  person shall be denominated a criminal by reason of such determination.
    33    6.  In  addition  to  the  penalties otherwise provided in subdivision
    34  three of this section, if a determination is made sustaining a charge of
    35  illegally purchasing or attempting to illegally  purchase  an  alcoholic
    36  beverage  or  marihuana  products,  the  court may suspend such person's
    37  license to drive a motor vehicle and  the  privilege  of  an  unlicensed
    38  person  of  obtaining such license, in accordance with the following and
    39  for the following periods, if it is found that a  driver's  license  was
    40  used  for  the  purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to illegally
    41  purchase; provided, however, that where a person is  sentenced  pursuant
    42  to  paragraph (b) or (c) of subdivision three of this section, the court
    43  shall impose such license suspension if it  is  found  that  a  driver's
    44  license  was used for the purpose of such illegal purchase or attempt to
    45  illegally purchase:
    46    (a) For a first violation of paragraph (a) of subdivision two of  this
    47  section, a three month suspension.
    48    (b) For a second violation of paragraph (a) of subdivision two of this
    49  section, a six month suspension.
    50    (c)  For  a third or subsequent violation of paragraph (a) of subdivi-

    52  reaches the age of twenty-one, whichever is the greater period of time.
    53    Such  person  may  thereafter apply for and be issued a restricted use
    54  license in accordance with the provisions of section five hundred thirty
    55  of the vehicle and traffic law.

     1    7. (a) In any  proceeding  pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of  section
     2  sixty-five of this article, it shall be an affirmative defense that such
     3  person had produced a driver's license or non-driver identification card
     4  apparently  issued  by a governmental entity, successfully completed the
     5  transaction  scan, and that the alcoholic beverage or marihuana products
     6  had been sold, delivered or given to such person in reasonable  reliance
     7  upon  such identification and transaction scan. In evaluating the appli-
     8  cability of such affirmative defense, the liquor  authority  shall  take
     9  into  consideration  any  written  policy adopted and implemented by the
    10  seller to carry out the provisions of this chapter. Use of a transaction
    11  scan shall not excuse any licensee  under  this  chapter,  or  agent  or
    12  employee  of  such  licensee,  from the exercise of reasonable diligence
    13  otherwise  required  by  this   section.   Notwithstanding   the   above
    14  provisions,  any such affirmative defense shall not be applicable in any
    15  other civil or criminal proceeding, or in any other forum.
    16    (b) A licensee or agent or employee of a licensee  may  electronically
    17  or  mechanically  record and maintain only the information from a trans-
    18  action scan necessary to effectuate the purposes of this  section.  Such
    19  information  shall  be  limited to the following: (i) name, (ii) date of
    20  birth, (iii) driver's license or non-driver identification  number,  and
    21  (iv) expiration date. The liquor authority and the state commissioner of
    22  motor  vehicles  shall  jointly  promulgate  any regulation necessary to
    23  govern the recording and maintenance of  these  records  by  a  licensee
    24  under  this chapter. The liquor authority and the commissioner of health
    25  shall jointly promulgate any regulations  necessary  to  ensure  quality
    26  control in the use of transaction scan devices.
    27    8. A licensee or agent or employee of such licensee shall only use the
    28  information  recorded and maintained through the use of such devices for
    29  the purposes contained in paragraph (a) of  subdivision  seven  of  this
    30  section,  and  shall only use such devices for the purposes contained in
    31  subdivision two of this section. No licensee or agent or employee  of  a
    32  licensee  shall  resell  or  disseminate the information recorded during
    33  such scan to any third person. Such prohibited resale  or  dissemination
    34  includes,  but  is  not limited to, any advertising, marketing or promo-
    35  tional activities. Notwithstanding  the  restrictions  imposed  by  this
    36  subdivision,  such  records  may be released pursuant to a court ordered
    37  subpoena or pursuant to any other statute that  specifically  authorizes
    38  the  release  of  such  information.  Each violation of this subdivision
    39  shall be punishable by a civil penalty of not  more  than  one  thousand
    40  dollars.

    10  product not labeled or offered in conformity with rules and  regulations
    11  promulgated  in  accordance  with  this section shall be grounds for the

    20  contained  in  the  application made for the original license or permit,
    21  but in any event the submission of photographs of the licensed  premises
    22  shall  be  dispensed with, provided the applicant for such renewal shall
    23  file a statement with such authority to the effect that there  has  been
    24  no  alteration  of  such premises since the original license was issued.
    25  The liquor authority may make such rules as may be necessary not  incon-

    11  granting  of  a license, in any of the facts required to be set forth in
    12  such application, a supplemental statement giving notice of such change,

    43  chapter remain the same with respect to such license as transferred and,
    44  further, the licensee shall transmit to the authority, within  ten  days
    45  of  the  transfer of license allowable under this subdivision, on a form
    46  prescribed by the  authority,  notification  of  the  transfer  of  such

    48    3. No license shall be pledged or deposited as collateral security for
    49  any  loan  or  upon any other condition; and any such pledge or deposit,
    50  and any contract providing therefor, shall be void.

     6  delivered to the licensee with his or her license or as soon  thereafter
     7  as  may be practicable. Any amendments thereto shall also be sent by the
     8  liquor authority to all licensees as soon as may  be  practicable  after
     9  such  amendments. Failure to send such statements or changes therein, or
    10  failure to receive the same, or any misstatement or error  contained  in
    11  such statements or amendments shall, however, not be an excuse or justi-
    12  fication for any violation of law, or prevent, or remit, or decrease any
    13  penalty or forfeiture therefor.

    21  holding  a  license to post such license or to permit such license to be
    22  posted upon premises other than the premises licensed, or upon  premises
    23  where  traffic in marihuana is being carried on by any person other than
    24  the licensee, or knowingly to deface, destroy or alter any such  license
    25  in  any  respect.  Whenever a license shall be lost or destroyed without
    26  fault on the part of the licensee or his or her agents or  employees,  a
    27  duplicate  license in lieu thereof may be issued by the liquor authority
    28  in its discretion and in accordance with such rules and regulations  and

    30  prescribe.

    32  issued  pursuant  to  this  article may be revoked, cancelled, suspended
    33  and/or subjected to the imposition of a civil  penalty  for  cause,  and
    34  must be revoked for the following causes:
    35    (a)  Conviction  of  the  licensee,  permittee  or his or her agent or
    36  employee for selling any illegal marihuana on the premises licensed.
    37    (b) For transferring, assigning or hypothecating a license or permit.
    38    2. Notwithstanding the issuance of a  license  or  permit  by  way  of
    39  renewal, the liquor authority may revoke, cancel or suspend such license
    40  or  permit  and/or may impose a civil penalty against any holder of such
    41  license or permit, as prescribed by this section and section one hundred
    42  nineteen of this chapter, for causes or violations occurring during  the
    43  license  period  immediately  preceding  the issuance of such license or
    44  permit, and may recover, as provided in section one  hundred  twelve  of
    45  this chapter, the penal sum of the bond on file during said period.
    46    3.  As  used  in this section, the term "for cause" shall also include
    47  the existence of a sustained and continuing pattern of  noise,  disturb-
    48  ance, misconduct, or disorder on or about the licensed premises, related
    49  to  the  operation  of the premises or the conduct of its patrons, which
    50  adversely affects the health, welfare or safety of  the  inhabitants  of
    51  the area in which such licensed premises are located.
    52    4.  The  existence  of  a  sustained  and continuing pattern of noise,
    53  disturbance, misconduct, or disorder on or about the licensed  premises,
    54  related  to the operation of the premises or the conduct of its patrons,
    55  will be presumed upon the sixth incident reported to the authority by  a
    56  law enforcement agency of noise or disturbance or misconduct or disorder

        S. 1747                            35
 
     1  on  or  about  the  licensed premises or related to the operation of the
     2  premises or the conduct of its patrons, in any sixty day period,  absent
     3  clear and convincing evidence of either fraudulent intent on the part of
     4  any  complainant  or  a factual error with respect to the content of any
     5  report concerning such complaint relied upon by the authority.
     6    § 183. Procedure for revocation or cancellation.  1.  Any  license  or
     7  permit  issued  by  the liquor authority pursuant to this article may be
     8  revoked, cancelled or suspended and/or be subjected to the imposition of
     9  a monetary penalty in the manner prescribed by this section.
    10    2. The liquor authority may on its own initiative or on  complaint  of
    11  any person institute proceedings to revoke, cancel or suspend any retail
    12  license  and  may  impose  a  civil penalty against the licensee after a
    13  hearing at which the licensee shall be given an opportunity to be heard.
    14  Such hearing shall be held in such manner and upon such notice as may be
    15  prescribed by the rules of the liquor authority.
    16    3. All other licenses or permits issued  under  this  chapter  may  be
    17  revoked, cancelled, suspended and/or made subject to the imposition of a

    19  manner to be determined by the rules of the liquor authority.
    20    4. (a) The provisions of this subdivision shall apply in all cases  of
    21  licensee  or  permittee  failure  after receiving appropriate notice, to
    22  comply with a summons, subpoena or warrant relating to  a  paternity  or
    23  child  support  proceeding  and  arrears  in payment of child support or
    24  combined child and spousal support referred to the authority by a  court
    25  pursuant  to the requirements of section two hundred forty-four-c of the
    26  domestic relations law or pursuant to section four hundred fifty-eight-b
    27  or five hundred forty-eight-b of the family court act.
    28    (b) Upon receipt of an order  from  the  court  based  on  arrears  in
    29  payment  of child support or combined child and spousal support pursuant
    30  to one of the foregoing provisions of law, the authority,  if  it  finds
    31  such person to have been issued a license or permit, shall within thirty
    32  days  of  receipt  of  such  order from the court, provide notice to the
    33  licensee or permittee of, and initiate, a hearing which shall be held at
    34  least twenty days and no more than thirty days after the sending of such
    35  notice to the licensee or permittee. The hearing shall  be  solely  held
    36  for  the  purpose  of determining whether there exists as of the date of
    37  the hearing proof that full payment of all  arrears  of  support  estab-
    38  lished  by the order of the court to be due from the licensee or permit-
    39  tee have been paid. Proof of such payment shall  be  a  certified  check
    40  showing  full  payment  of established arrears or a notice issued by the

    45  The licensee or permittee shall be given  full  opportunity  to  present
    46  such  proof  of payment at the hearing in person or by counsel. The only
    47  issue to be determined by the authority as a result of  the  hearing  is
    48  whether  the  arrears  have  been  paid. No evidence with respect to the
    49  appropriateness of the court order or ability of the respondent party in
    50  arrears to comply with such order shall be received or considered by the
    51  authority.
    52    (c) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this article  or  of
    53  any other provision of law to the contrary, such license or permit shall
    54  be  suspended  if  at the hearing, provided for by paragraph (b) of this
    55  subdivision, the licensee or permittee fails to present proof of payment
    56  as required by such subdivision.  Such suspension shall  not  be  lifted

        S. 1747                            36
 
     1  unless  the  court or the support collection unit, where the court order
     2  is payable to the support collection unit designated by the  appropriate
     3  social  services  district,  issues  notice  to  the authority that full
     4  payment  of all arrears of support established by the order of the court
     5  to be due have been paid.
     6    (d) Upon receipt of an order from the court based on failure to comply
     7  with a summons, subpoena, or warrant relating to a  paternity  or  child
     8  support  proceeding,  the  authority,  if  it finds such person has been
     9  issued a license or permit, shall within thirty days of receipt of  such
    10  order  from  the court, provide notice to the licensee or permittee that
    11  his or her license shall be suspended in sixty days  unless  the  condi-
    12  tions in paragraph (e) of this subdivision are met.
    13    (e)  Notwithstanding  any inconsistent provision of this article or of
    14  any other provision of law to the contrary, such license or permit shall
    15  be suspended in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of  this
    16  subdivision unless the court terminates its order to commence suspension
    17  proceedings. Such suspension shall not be lifted unless the court issues
    18  an  order  to the authority terminating its order to commence suspension
    19  proceedings.
    20    (f) The authority shall inform the court of all  actions  taken  here-
    21  under as required by law.
    22    (g)  This  subdivision applies to support obligations paid pursuant to
    23  any order of child support or child and  spousal  support  issued  under
    24  provisions of section two hundred thirty-six or two hundred forty of the
    25  domestic  relations  law,  or article four, five or five-A of the family
    26  court act.
    27    (h) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this article  or  of
    28  any  other  provision  of  law  to  the contrary, the provisions of this
    29  subdivision shall apply to the exclusion of any  other  requirements  of
    30  this article and to the exclusion of any other requirement of law to the
    31  contrary.

    33  within a five year period, the authority, upon receipt  of  notification
    34  of  such  second  or subsequent conviction pursuant to the provisions of
    35  subdivision two of section one hundred six-a of this chapter, shall,  in
    36  addition  to  any  other  sanction  or civil or criminal penalty imposed
    37  pursuant to this chapter, impose on such licensee a civil penalty not to
    38  exceed five hundred dollars. For purposes of this subdivision, a  quali-
    39  fying  offense shall mean: (a) the offense defined in subdivision one of
    40  section sixty-five of this chapter; or (b) the offense defined in  para-
    41  graph  (b)  of  subdivision one of section sixty-five-b of this chapter.
    42  For purposes of this subdivision, a  conviction  of  a  licensee  or  an
    43  employee or agent of such licensee shall constitute a conviction of such
    44  licensee.

    21  violent felony offense as defined by section 70.02  of  the  penal  law,
    22  unless  subsequent to such conviction such person shall have received an
    23  executive pardon therefor removing this  disability,  a  certificate  of
    24  good  conduct  granted  by  the  department of corrections and community
    25  supervision, or a certificate of relief from disabilities granted by the

    44  conducted itself in a manner  such  that  discretionary  review  by  the
    45  authority  would  not  be  inconsistent  with  the  public interest. The
    46  department of corrections  and  community  supervision  may  charge  the
    47  licensee or applicant a fee equivalent to the expenses of an appropriate
    48  investigation  under  this subdivision. For any conviction rendered by a
    49  court of this state, the authority may request the corporation,  if  the

    31  refusal  to  enroll  or  employ  or  lease to or otherwise penalize that

    33  lord in violation of federal law or cause it to lose a federal  contract
    34  or funding;
    35    2.  a  patient,  shall  not constitute the use of an illicit substance

    48  care to a patient, may agree with their client or patient to maintain no

    51  sional's only obligation shall be to keep such records as agreed, and to
    52  keep  a record of the agreement.  Such reduced record keeping is conduct
    53  permitted under this chapter,  and  shall  attract  the  protections  of
    54  section one hundred ninety of this article.

     1  sell marihuana, marihuana infused products, and concentrated cannabis in
     2  a retail outlet.
     3    10.  "Marihuana  retailer  for on-premises consumption" means a person
     4  licensed by the state liquor authority to  purchase  marihuana,  concen-
     5  trated  cannabis,  and marihuana infused products from marihuana produc-
     6  ers, marihuana retailers and marihuana  processors  and  sell  marihuana

     9    § 447. Taxes imposed. 1. (a) An excise tax is hereby levied upon mari-
    10  huana sold or otherwise transferred from  a  marihuana  processor  to  a
    11  retail marihuana store at a rate of:
    12    (1) fifteen percent of the price at transfer; and
    13    (2)(A) thirty-five dollars per ounce on all marihuana flowers;

    17  weight of the product used to create the concentrate. In the event  that
    18  a person holds both a marihuana producer license and a marihuana proces-
    19  sors  license,  the  excise tax shall be levied at the time of sale to a
    20  marihuana retailer or marihuana retailer for on-premises consumption  at
    21  the  same  rate  based  on content of marihuana or concentrated cannabis
    22  contained in the product sold.
    23    2. For reporting periods beginning on or after July first,  two  thou-
    24  sand  seventeen,  the rates of tax under subdivision one of this section
    25  shall be adjusted for each  biennium  according  to  the  cost-of-living
    26  adjustment  for  the  calendar year. The department shall re-compute the
    27  rates for each biennium by adding to each rate  in  subdivision  one  of
    28  this  section  the  product obtained by multiplying the rate by a factor
    29  that is equal to 0.25 multiplied by the percentage (if any) by which the
    30  monthly averaged U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for  the  twelve
    31  consecutive months ending August thirty-first of the prior calendar year
    32  exceeds  the monthly averaged U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for
    33  the twelve consecutive months ending August thirty-first,  two  thousand
    34  fifteen.
    35    3.  The  department  shall regularly review the rates of the tax under
    36  subdivision one of this section and make recommendations to the legisla-
    37  ture regarding appropriate adjustments to the rates  that  will  further
    38  the purposes of:
    39    (a) maximizing net revenue;
    40    (b) minimizing the illegal marihuana industry; and
    41    (c) discouraging the use of marihuana by minors under twenty-one years
    42  of age.
    43    §  448.  Surety  bond.  Marihuana  retailer applicants are required to
    44  submit a surety bond with the department equal  to  two  months  of  the
    45  cultivation  facility's  anticipated  retail  marihuana  excise tax. The
    46  surety bond must be issued by a company authorized to do business in the
    47  state. Proof of surety bond is  required  for  approval  of  applicant's
    48  retail license.
    49    §  449.  Collection of tax. This tax shall be collected by the commis-
    50  sioner who shall establish a procedure for the collection of this tax.
    51    § 450. Fund. Proceeds from the tax shall be given to the  state  comp-
    52  troller  for  placement  in  a  fund  that shall be known as a marihuana
    53  revenue fund. Fifteen percent of the revenue collected in the  marihuana
    54  revenue fund shall be divided equally between (a) the division of crimi-
    55  nal  justice  services  for  re-entry  support  services for individuals
    56  released from prison after serving time for drug related  offenses;  (b)

     2  prevention and treatment programs; and (c) the department of  labor  for
     3  apprenticeship  and  job  training  programs  targeting, with preference
     4  given  to  programs  targeting  census  tracts with a poverty rate of at
     5  least twenty percent or an unemployment rate of at  least  one  and  one
     6  quarter times the New York state unemployment rate. The remainder of the
     7  revenue collected from this tax shall go into the general fund.  For the
     8  first  five  years  of  the  fund,  ten  percent  of the annual proceeds
     9  collected in the marihuana revenue fund shall be provided to  the  state
    10  liquor authority for program administration costs.
    11    §  450-a. Local taxes on marihuana by a city or town. Any city or town
    12  in this state, acting through its  local  legislative  body,  is  hereby
    13  authorized  and  empowered to adopt and amend local laws imposing in any
    14  such city or town a sales tax on marihuana retailers at a rate  of  five
    15  percent  of  the  sale  price  of marihuana products sold to a marihuana
    16  consumer. Any taxes imposed pursuant to the authority  of  this  section
    17  shall  be  administered  and collected by the tax commission in the same
    18  manner as the taxes imposed under section  four  hundred  forty-nine  of
    19  this  article.  The  commissioner  is  hereby  empowered  to  make  such
    20  provisions as it  deems  necessary  for  the  joint  administration  and
    21  collection  of  the state and local taxes imposed and authorized by this
    22  article.
    23    § 450-b. Ordinary and necessary expenses deductible from  net  income.
    24  Notwithstanding  any  federal  tax law to the contrary, in computing net
    25  income for businesses exempted from criminal  penalties  under  articles
    26  two hundred twenty and two hundred twenty-one of the penal law and arti-
    27  cle eleven of the alcoholic beverage control law, there shall be allowed
    28  as  a deduction from state taxes all the ordinary and necessary expenses
    29  paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying  on  any  trade  or
    30  business,  including, but not limited to, reasonable allowance for sala-
    31  ries or other compensation for personal services actually rendered.

    38  nal court against such person, the prosecutor elects  not  to  prosecute
    39  such  person.  In such event, the prosecutor shall serve a certification
    40  of such disposition upon the division of criminal justice  services  and
    41  upon  the appropriate police department or law enforcement agency which,
    42  upon receipt thereof, shall comply with  the  provisions  of  paragraphs
    43  (a),  (b),  (c)  and  (d) of subdivision one of this section in the same
    44  manner as is required thereunder with respect to an  order  of  a  court
    45  entered pursuant to said subdivision one[.]; or
    46    (j)  following the arrest of such person, the arresting police agency,
    47  prior to the filing of an accusatory  instrument  in  a  local  criminal
    48  court  but subsequent to the forwarding of a copy of the fingerprints of
    49  such person to the division of criminal justice services, elects not  to
    50  proceed  further. In such event, the head of the arresting police agency
    51  shall serve a certification of such disposition  upon  the  division  of
    52  criminal justice services which, upon receipt thereof, shall comply with
    53  the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of subdivision one of
    54  this  section  in the same manner as is required thereunder with respect
    55  to an order of a court entered pursuant to said subdivision one[.]; or

     1    (k) (i) The accusatory instrument alleged a violation of  article  two
     2  hundred  twenty  or section 240.36 of the penal law, prior to the taking
     3  effect of article  two  hundred  twenty-one  of  the  penal  law,  or  a
     4  violation  of  article two hundred twenty-one of the penal law; (ii) the

     8    §  36.  Subdivision 1 of section 170.56 of the criminal procedure law,
     9  as amended by chapter 360 of the laws of 1977, is  amended  to  read  as
    10  follows:
    11    1.  Upon or after arraignment in a local criminal court upon an infor-
    12  mation, a prosecutor's information or a misdemeanor complaint, where the
    13  sole  remaining  count  or  counts  charge  a violation or violations of
    14  section 221.05, [221.10,] 221.15, 221.35 or 221.40 of the penal law  and
    15  before the entry of a plea of guilty thereto or commencement of  a trial
    16  thereof,  the  court,  upon  motion  of  a defendant, may order that all
    17  proceedings be suspended and the action adjourned  in  contemplation  of
    18  dismissal,  or upon a finding that adjournment would not be necessary or
    19  appropriate and the setting forth in the record of the reasons for  such
    20  findings,  may  dismiss in furtherance of justice the accusatory instru-
    21  ment; provided, however, that the court may not order  such  adjournment
    22  in  contemplation  of dismissal or dismiss the accusatory instrument if:
    23  (a) the defendant  has  previously  been  granted  such  adjournment  in
    24  contemplation  of  dismissal,  or  (b) the defendant has previously been
    25  granted a dismissal under this section, or (c) the defendant has  previ-
    26  ously  been convicted of any offense involving controlled substances, or
    27  (d) the defendant has previously been  convicted  of  a  crime  and  the
    28  district  attorney  does not consent or (e) the defendant has previously
    29  been adjudicated a youthful offender on the basis of  any  act  or  acts
    30  involving  controlled  substances  and  the  district  attorney does not
    31  consent.  Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in this subdivision,
    32  the court may order that all proceedings be  suspended  and  the  action
    33  adjourned  in  contemplation of dismissal based upon a finding of excep-
    34  tional circumstances. For  purposes  of  this  subdivision,  exceptional
    35  circumstances  exist when, regardless of the ultimate disposition of the
    36  case, the entry of a plea of guilty is likely to result in severe colla-
    37  teral consequences, including, but not  limited  to,  those  that  could
    38  leave a noncitizen inadmissible or deportable from the United States.
    39    §  37.  Section  210.46  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
    40  chapter 360 of the laws of 1977, is amended to read as follows:
    41  § 210.46  Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal in  marihuana  cases

    45  section 221.05, [221.10,] 221.15, 221.35 or 221.40 of the penal law  and
    46  before the entry of a plea of guilty thereto or commencement of a  trial
    47  thereof,  the  court,  upon  motion  of  a defendant, may order that all
    48  proceedings be suspended and the action adjourned  in  contemplation  of
    49  dismissal  or  may  dismiss the indictment in furtherance of justice, in
    50  accordance with the provisions of section 170.56 of this chapter.
    51    § 38. Paragraphs (h) and (i) of subdivision 1 of section 440.10 of the
    52  criminal procedure law, paragraph (h) as amended and  paragraph  (i)  as
    53  added  by  chapter  332 of the laws of 2010, are amended and a new para-
    54  graph (j) is added to read as follows:

     1    (i) The judgment is a conviction where the arresting charge was  under
     2  section  240.37 (loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution
     3  offense, provided that the defendant was not alleged to be loitering for
     4  the purpose of patronizing a prostitute or  promoting  prostitution)  or
     5  230.00  (prostitution)  of  the  penal  law, and the defendant's partic-
     6  ipation in the offense was a result of having been a victim of sex traf-
     7  ficking under section 230.34 of the penal law or trafficking in  persons
     8  under  the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (United States Code, title
     9  22, chapter 78); provided that
    10    (i) a motion under this paragraph shall be made  with  due  diligence,
    11  after the defendant has ceased to be a victim of such trafficking or has
    12  sought  services  for victims of such trafficking, subject to reasonable
    13  concerns for the safety of the defendant, family members of the  defend-
    14  ant, or other victims of such trafficking that may be jeopardized by the
    15  bringing  of  such  motion,  or  for  other  reasons consistent with the
    16  purpose of this paragraph; and
    17    (ii) official documentation of the defendant's status as a  victim  of
    18  sex  trafficking  or  trafficking  in persons at the time of the offense
    19  from a federal, state or local government agency shall create a presump-
    20  tion that the defendant's participation in the offense was a  result  of
    21  having  been  a victim of sex trafficking or trafficking in persons, but
    22  shall not be required for granting a motion under this paragraph[.]; or
    23    (j) the judgment occurred prior to the effective date  of  this  para-
    24  graph and is a conviction for:
    25    (i) an offense as defined by section 221.10 of the penal law (criminal
    26  possession  of marihuana in the fifth degree), as in effect prior to the
    27  effective date of this paragraph, provided that the  accusatory  instru-
    28  ment that underlies the judgment does not include an allegation that the
    29  defendant possessed more than twenty-five grams of marihuana; or
    30    (ii)  an  offense as defined by former section 221.35 of the penal law
    31  (criminal sale of marihuana in the fifth degree).
    32    § 39. Subdivision 6 of section 440.10 of the criminal  procedure  law,
    33  as  added  by  chapter  332  of  the laws of 2010, is amended to read as
    34  follows:
    35    6. If the court grants a motion under paragraph (i) or  paragraph  (j)
    36  of  subdivision  one  of  this  section, it must vacate the judgment and
    37  dismiss the accusatory instrument, and may take such  additional  action
    38  as is appropriate in the circumstances.
    39    §  40.  Section  440.46  of  the  criminal  procedure law, as added by
    40  section 9 of part AAA of chapter 56 of the laws of 2009,  subdivision  1

    15  the  present  felony, which was: (1) a violent felony offense as defined
    16  in section 70.02 of the penal law; or (2) any other offense for which  a

    37    [3.] 2. The  provisions  of  section  twenty-three  of  chapter  seven
    38  hundred  thirty-eight  of the laws of two thousand four shall govern the
    39  proceedings on and determination of a motion brought  pursuant  to  this
    40  section;  provided, however that the court's consideration of the insti-
    41  tutional record of confinement of such person shall include but  not  be
    42  limited  to such person's participation in or willingness to participate
    43  in treatment or other programming while incarcerated and  such  person's
    44  disciplinary  history.  The  fact  that a person may have been unable to
    45  participate in treatment or other programming while incarcerated despite
    46  such person's willingness to do so shall not be  considered  a  negative
    47  factor in determining a motion pursuant to this section.

    49  vision four of section seven hundred twenty-two of the county  law,  and

     1    (a)  a  crime for which the person was previously convicted within the
     2  preceding ten years, excluding any time during which  the  offender  was
     3  incarcerated for any reason between the time of commission of the previ-
     4  ous  felony and the time of commission of the present felony, which was:
     5  (i)  a  violent  felony offense as defined in section 70.02 of the penal
     6  law; or (ii) any other offense for which a merit time allowance  is  not
     7  available  pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (d) of subdivision
     8  one of section eight hundred three of the correction law; or

    12  cated.]
    13    4.  Under  no circumstances may resentencing under this section result
    14  in the imposition of a term longer than the original sentence.
    15    5. Nothing in this section is intended to  diminish  or  abrogate  any
    16  rights or remedies otherwise available to the petitioner or applicant.
    17    § 41. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 8 of section 700.05 of the criminal
