CARSON CITY, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Today, Gov. Steve Sisolak and Department of Taxation Executive Director Melanie Young called for increased transparency in marijuana program licensing with the introduction of an amendment to SB32 during the bill's hearing in the Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development.
SB32 revises provisions relating to confidentiality of records and files in the custody of the Department of Taxation. The amendment, offered by the Department of Taxation on behalf of Gov. Sisolak in today's hearing, would exempt certain scoring and ranking documentation, including evidence of scoring methodologies for marijuana establishment applications, from confidentiality requirements with the exception of certain personal, investigative and proprietary information as already defined by law. The amendment will allow qualifying documents received by the Department of Taxation on or after May 1, 2017 to be disclosed for purposes of transparency.
