To the Honorable Board:

I respectfully request that this Board consider and accept the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 64N, Section 3.  Acceptance of this act would provide a local excise tax of 3% on the retail sales of marijuana for adult use.  Acceptance of this provision would take effect July 1, 2018 so long as it is accepted before May 31, 2018.

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
