Medical Cannabis License Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends the District of Columbia's medical cannabis regulations to clarify rules for licensing, protest procedures, and social equity requirements. It restricts protests to Advisory Neighborhood Commissions located within 600 feet of a proposed establishment and allows the licensing board to extend public comment periods by up to 30 days upon request. The legislation mandates that all medical cannabis retailers must be situated more than 400 feet away from each other and clarifies that licenses issued to previously unlicensed establishments count toward the 50% social equity quota. Additionally, it sets a deadline for unlicensed operators to receive their official licenses or cease operations, while also ensuring that service fees for licensed businesses are not considered unfair trade practices.
