PA HB 1200: new version, House Amendment A00527

Score 56PRIMARYregulatoryState legislature

Summary

Pennsylvania HB 1200, House Amendment A00527, establishes a comprehensive framework for the regulation and legal sale of cannabis in Pennsylvania, including creation of Pennsylvania Cannabis Stores operated through the Liquor Control Board and a dedicated Substance Use Disorder Prevention, Treatment and Education Restricted Account funded from cannabis tax revenues. The bill passed the House on third consideration on May 7, 2025, but a subsequent motion to report was defeated in the Senate Law and Justice Committee on May 13, 2025, leaving the bill stalled. The legislation addresses social equity licensing, packaging and labeling, recordkeeping, inspections, and penalties.

What this may mean

The bill's defeat in the Senate committee means no immediate change to Pennsylvania cannabis law. If enacted in a future session, the SUD Prevention, Treatment and Education Restricted Account would create a new state funding stream for behavioral health and addiction treatment providers in Pennsylvania. The bill's regulatory framework would impose licensing, recordkeeping, and inspection obligations on cannabis retailers operating through state-controlled stores.
