This rulemaking action would implement minor changes to the Department’s licensing process to allow for existing licensees who hold a license with both a medicinal and Adult-Use designation to be issued separate Medicinal and Adult-Use licenses. The proposed regulations would develop a process that would facilitate the issuance of these licenses in an expedited manner. The proposed regulations would also allow existing licensees to have the separate licenses issued to a different legal entity from the entity holding the existing license, so long as certain requirements are met. To maintain the integrity of the existing licensing system, certain conditions will be placed on any new licenses issued under this process to ensure that the resulting medical cannabis businesses continue to comply with all existing requirements.
