Bill > A08118

This bill requires the Cannabis Control Board to provide written notice to state assembly and senate members who represent the district where a cannabis business is proposed within 30 days of receiving and approving an application for either an adult-use retail dispensary license or an adult-use on-site consumption license. This means that when a cannabis business applies for a license in a specific legislative district, the local state legislators will be formally informed about the pending application. The bill ensures that elected officials are aware of potential new cannabis businesses in their districts, providing them with timely information about commercial cannabis establishments. The bill takes effect immediately and applies not only to new applications but also to any completed applications that are pending at the time the law goes into effect, ensuring comprehensive notification for both current and future cannabis business license applications.
