HB 1127: Marijuana business licensing

Concerning the licensing of marijuana-related businesses involving a partnership, employee cooperative, association, nonprofit corporation, corporation, business entity, or nonprofit entity.

Summary

  • Prohibits the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) from issuing a marijuana business license to a business or nonprofit entity unless it is lawfully registered with the Secretary of State and its interest holders meet specified residency requirements.
  • Grants discretionary authority to the LCB to deny a commercial marijuana license to an entity if the entity has nonresident interest holders who are difficult to adequately investigate because of their nonresident status.
