Requires the state comptroller, the attorney general and independent certified public accountants to conduct an annual audit of the office of cannabis management.

This bill requires an annual audit of the Office of Cannabis Management in New York. The audit would be conducted by the state comptroller, the attorney general, and independent certified public accountants. The goal is to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of cannabis operations in the state.

Supporters of this bill argue that regular audits will enhance transparency and trust in the state's cannabis management. They believe that oversight from independent auditors will help ensure that the cannabis industry operates fairly and responsibly, benefiting both consumers and the economy.

Critics may argue that this bill adds unnecessary bureaucratic oversight to the Office of Cannabis Management. They could contend that the cannabis industry is already heavily regulated and that additional audits could slow down operations and hinder the growth of a vital new sector in the economy.
