On November 16, 2017, California’s Bureau of Cannabis Control, the Department of Public Health, and the Department of Food and Agriculture released over 270 pages of emergency regulations to implement cannabis business licensing for the Medicinal and Adult-Use Regulation and Safety Act (“MAUCRSA”). Licensing is to begin on January 1, 2018.
Though these emergency regulations share some similarities with the withdrawn Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (“MCRSA”) rules, they also contain major changes and nuances important to anyone pursuing temporary and eventually annual licensing for commercial cannabis activity in California.
On December 18th, from 12 to 1:15 pm, four of our California-based
attorneys will present a free webinar on the recently issued emergency
MAUCRSA rules that govern medicinal and adult use cannabis commercial
activity and licensing. Hilary Bricken of our Los Angeles office will
moderate a discussion with Los Angeles attorney Julie Hamill and San
Francisco attorneys Alison Malsbury and Habib Bentaleb that will help
you better understand what these emergency rules mean for your
California cannabis business. This discussion will cover the licensing
process for each license type, operational standards for all license
types (including renewable energy requirements for cultivators), the
6-month “transitional” period for product and operations, major changes
between the MCRSA and MAUCRSA rules, and outstanding issues and key
unknowns posed by the rules. In addition, the attorneys will address
audience questions both during and at the end of the webinar.
The future of California’s newly regulated cannabis industry hinges on successful licensing and ongoing compliance with the MAUCRSA rules. If you plan on pursuing a California cannabis license or plan to work in any capacity with a California cannabis business, you should attend this free webinar to educate yourself on the “need to know now” information for upcoming licensing and compliance.
