A two-year residency requirement is among the provisions in the bill a legis- lative committee considered at a hearing Wednesday night. Measure 91, which voters passed in November, did not include a residency requirement for pot busi- nesses. The bill would also create a sales tax on recreational pot, to replace the weight- based excise tax the state would charge growers under the legalization measure voters approved in November. Oregonians age 21 and older can legally possess marijuana starting July 1, although the state currently does not expect recreational pot stores to open until sometime in 2016. Several members of the marijuana industry who testi¿ed before the House-Senate committee working to implement Measure 91 asked lawmakers to get rid of the residency requirement in the bill. Anthony Johnson, chief petitioner and co-author of Measure 91, said marijuana businesses need to have the option to raise money from relatives or other out-of- state investors. Patrick Moen, managing director and general counsel for the Seattle-based private equity ¿rm Privateer Holdings, voiced the same concern. “We know from expe- rience that cultivating and distributing lab-tested, professionally packaged cannabis requires signi¿cant and ongoing investment to ensure quality and prevent diversion to the illicit market and stop the product from ending up in the hands of children,” Moen said in written testimony submitted to lawmakers. Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, said lawmakers included the residency Live Music at Hi 92 86 83 63 75 67 69 69 78 64 78 Sat.

Prozanski said it might be possible to place a sunset on the provi- sion. Some members of the marijuana industry and medical program card- holders have opposed bills to regulate medical mari- juana and other legislative proposals, saying they go against the will of voters who approved Measure 91. However Johnson said after the hearing Wednesday that he supports changing the point of taxation from growers to stores. “There were policy and political reasons why it was at the producer level (in Measure 91),” Johnson said. “However, as far as really the intent of the measure, and what I think voters and consumers expect, moving the tax to the retail level makes sense.” W pc t s t t t c sh pc r pc 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme Lawmakers consider pot sales tax, residency requirement for investors By HILLARY BORRUD Capital Bureau Lo 60 79 57 52 55 57 49 56 53 57 64 Today Didn’t receive your paper?&DOO EHIRUHSP7XHVGD\WKURXJK)ULGD\ RUEHIRUHDP6DWXUGD\ for same-day redelivery Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group W c pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc pc t pc pc c pc pc pc pc c pc pc WSW 6-12 WSW 7-14 Subscriber services: For home delivery, vacation stops or delivery concerns: 1-800-522-0255 211 S.E.

WORLD CITIES (in mph) Klamath Falls 62/37 Friday, May 22, 2015 Johnson said that a sales tax would not violate the intent of voters, so long as the level of taxation does not increase. The legislation lawmakers considered Wednesday night would also require recre- ational marijuana growers, processors and retailers to be at least 21 years old. It would require the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which will regulate recreational pot, to set up a seed-to-sale system to track weed and the recreational marijuana industry to participate in the tracking system.
