Medical Cannabis Clarification Supplemental Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2024
This emergency amendment clarifies rules for medical cannabis businesses in the District of Columbia, specifically affecting cultivation centers and dispensaries that applied for licenses between late 2021 and early 2022. The bill sets a May 1, 2024 deadline for these existing facilities to submit applications for additional licenses and prohibits any single business from holding both a cultivation center license and an internet retailer license. It also resolves a tie among two applicants for second place in the 2021-2022 registration cycle and allows high-scoring applicants to change their facility locations without jeopardizing their applications. Additionally, the law ensures that initial application fees paid by qualified applicants will be credited toward their full application costs.
