MA Governor Healey Approves Shakeup Of Mass. Cannabis Laws

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed into law Sunday reforming cannabis regulations and rebooting the Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

Under the legislation, the current Cannabis Control Commission is dissolved immediately and reduced from five members to three, all of whom will be appointed by the governor. Healy now has 30 days to appoint a new commission, which has been riddled with infighting for years. The deadline for signing Healy’s bill, which lawmakers sent to her desk on April 9, expired Sunday. Healy’s office said they “have already begun the process of identifying commissioners.”

“The cannabis industry is an important part of the Massachusetts economy, supporting jobs and local businesses and bringing revenue to cities and towns,” Healy said in a Sunday news release. “It’s important that we do everything we can to make sure that this industry is set up for success and that we remain competitive in this fast-growing market.”

Lawmakers are reshaping rules in Massachusetts after years of chaos at the state’s Cannabis Control Commission (CCC), which called a “rudderless agency” by the state inspector general in 2024.

The CCC would also be reduced from five members to three and would be under the governor’s control, rather than other state officials, if adjustments are proposed by the Legislative Compromise Committee HB 5350 to become law.
