After years of failed attempts, on March 31, 2021, Governor Cuomo signed into law the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (“MRTA”) legalizing adult use cannabis for adults over the age of 21. The MRTA provides for a regulatory scheme with multiple governing offices encompassing multiple license tiers, automatic expungements, home grow and social equity provisions. Below are some of the highlights of the MRTA:
Regulatory Framework: Establishes an Office of Cannabis Management with a board comprised of 5 members, 3 of which are to be appointed by Governor and 1 by each legislative house, with the chair subject to Senate confirmation. The MRTA also establishes a Cannabis Advisory Board responsible for making recommendations to the cannabis control board, the office and the legislature on cannabis and hemp, cultivation, processing, distribution, transport, social and economic equity in the cannabis and hemp industries,
Any EU , EEA, or Swiss citizen who was resident in the UK before 1 January 2021 and who does not have indefinite leave to remain in the UK must apply to the Settlement Scheme to continue to remain and work in the UK after 30 June 2021.
Note: Irish citizens do not need to apply for Settlement.
CIfA is encouraging all members who are eligible for the Settlement Scheme to consider applying. Application is free and is the easiest and cheapest route for most EU/EAA citizens to retain the rights to live, work, or study in the UK for an indefinite period.
However, this is a time-limited offer being made by the UK Government. If eligible individuals have not applied before 30 Jun 2021, they may lose the right to reside and work in the UK.

Last Tuesday, the Smeaton Grange workers voted, 167 to 163, to reject the latest sellout deal struck between Coles and the UWU, taking a significant stand against the sweeping destruction of jobs and conditions being unleashed by the employers in the strategic warehousing, delivery and logistics industries, and throughout the working class as a whole.
