HB 2630: Marijuana/local ordinances

Ensuring marijuana license applicants are in compliance with local ordinances.

Summary

  • Establishes that the issuance or renewal of a marijuana-related business license by the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is contingent on the applicant providing written proof that it is in compliance with the regulations of the local jurisdiction where the business is, or proposed to be, located.
  • Authorizes the LCB to tentatively approve a license for an applicant who otherwise meets applicable licensing requirements but has not provided written proof of compliance with local regulations.
  • Prohibits a licensee having only tentative license approval from engaging in any marijuana-related commercial activities requiring an LCB-issued license.
  • Requires the LCB to issue the license if, within six months of tentative license approval, the applicant provides the LCB with written proof of compliance with all local regulations.
