Concerning cannabis license ownership.

Summary

  • Requires the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) to suspend a cannabis producer's license if no activity has been recorded on the license after July 1, 2021, and for the license to be reissued to the licensee in certain circumstances tied to federal cannabis law or policy changes.
  • Authorizes out-of-state ownership of licensed cannabis businesses.
