LD1869

Summary

A Maine bill that would have allowed a local option sales tax on recreational cannabis sales to offset property taxes has died in the legislature. The bill's failure means municipalities will not gain a new cannabis-specific tax tool, leaving existing cannabis tax and pricing structures unchanged for retailers.
