Governor Dunleavy at one point expressed an intent to repeal the state’s Marijuana Control Board, but he later backed off this proposal. Industry insiders have expressed concerns regarding some of the Governor’s appointments to the Board, as well as his support for the passage of enhanced criminal penalties for certain cannabis-related crimes. Nonetheless, in March 2019, Alaska regulators did finalize rules governing the licensing of on-site consumption establishments, making it the first state in the nation to do so. (Link)

In a 2018 Q&A, candidate Dunleavy announced that he did not support changes to the state's retail marijuana tax rates. (8/15/18) (Link)
