Medical Cannabis License Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to keep temporary medical cannabis rules in effect until a permanent version is finalized. It ensures that specific regulations regarding retailer spacing, protest filing procedures, and social equity requirements remain active without interruption. The bill directly impacts the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board and medical cannabis businesses operating in the District of Columbia. By extending these provisions, the Council prevents a legal gap that could occur while waiting for the full legislative review process to conclude.
