New York recently enacted an adult-use emerging agriculture law, which a lot of experts believe to have one of the most robust social equity programs to date, with provisions for minorities, women, war veterans, and farmers in the state.
The law creates a social and economic equity program in New York to encourage those individuals to participate in the adult-use market. The primary social equity components of the new law include: expanding eligibility of social equity applicants; creation of a community reinvestment fund supported by tax revenue; and automatic expungement of past criminal convictions related to the emerging agriculture industry.
The new legislation accomplishes the goal of ensuring that members of minority communities who have been negatively and disproportionately impacted by the prohibition of the emerging agriculture would benefit from the new framework.
“New York’s social equity program is arguably the most progressive in the entire nation,” says Thomas Howard.
The emerging agriculture industry laws and regulations are constantly changing and getting redrafted, which creates opportunities for industry lovers and business owners in the field all around the United States: If you want to know how to get a New York License, a Maine License, or learn about New Mexico’s newest draft rules for the industry you need to have the right information at hand.
