RECEIVE the report and provide direction to staff, as needed.

The Committee received the report. Vice Chair Mitchoff requested more information about the use of Prop. 64 funding for childcare services, which staff provides as follows:
"The Governor had announced his intent to use tax dollars collected from the sale of marijuana for child care programs. The services would be available for children up to the age of 12 and administered by the California Department of Education.Proposition 64 states that revenues from the sale of marijuana may be spent only on government programs “that further the purpose” of the law. To date, that has largely been on drug research and law enforcement efforts. A spokesman for Newsom pointed to a study by the National Institutes of Health citing the link between early childhood care and substance abuse prevention later in life. The governor was a principal proponent of the marijuana legalization initiative."
