Medical Cannabis Clarification Supplemental Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This temporary amendment clarifies rules for medical cannabis businesses in Washington, D.C., requiring existing cultivation centers and dispensaries to apply for additional licenses by May 1, 2024. The bill also prohibits any single business from holding both a cultivation center license and an internet retailer license. Additionally, it resolves a tie among two applicants for a cultivation center registration and allows high-scoring applicants to change their facility locations without penalty. These changes are set to expire 225 days after they take effect.
