Summary

A Massachusetts bill that would allow local governments to impose a transaction fee on cannabis sales has been referred to a study order under House Rule 27. An additional local transaction fee would increase the tax burden on cannabis retail transactions, potentially affecting pricing and competitiveness for cannabis retailers operating in municipalities that adopt the fee.
