Cannabis Policy Committee recommends House bill to expand regulated delivery
Summary
The House Committee on Cannabis Policy reported House Bill 4533 favorably on Sept. 25, 2025; the bill would amend Chapter 94G, section 4(c), and inserts three clauses addressing transfers between establishments, inorganic cultivation methods, and delivery to municipalities.
The House Committee on Cannabis Policy reported to the House on Sept. 25, 2025, recommending that House Bill No. 4533, “An Act expanding access to legal, regulated cannabis delivery,” ought to pass. The recommendation appears in a committee report filed with the House and accompanied the bill text.
The bill amends subsection (c) of section 4 of Chapter 94G of the General Laws by striking out existing clauses (5) and (6) and inserting three new clauses. The inserted clauses, as printed in the committee report, address: prohibitions on transfers or acquisitions of seeds, clones, plants, or plant tissue between marijuana establishments and medical marijuana treatment centers and on sales between certain licensed marijuana business types; prohibitions on the use of inorganic cultivation methods by marijuana establishments; and prohibitions on licensed marijuana delivery entities from delivering marijuana or marijuana products to any municipality in the commonwealth.
The committee report does not include a roll-call vote or member-level debate in the text provided. The report is a favorable committee recommendation that the bill “ought to pass”; it does not constitute final action by the full House. The transcript and committee filing do not specify a House floor date or any amendments adopted by the committee in open session.
House Bill No. 4533 originated as a petition (accompanied by House Bill No. 145) submitted by Mike Connolly, Samantha Montaño and Manny Cruz and was reported by the Committee on Cannabis Policy “for the committee” by Daniel M. Donahue. The bill text and the committee report are part of the House files for the One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth General Court (2025–2026).
