In the House

Introduced by Rep. Jim Lilly (R-89)

To make operating a marijuana facility without a license grounds for a one-year disqualification for a marijuana business getting a permanent license. This refers to the transition from a system of medical marijuana facility licenses to the voter-approved recreational marijuana legalization and licensure regime, which has been delayed several times due to officials’ inability to process applications in a timely manner, and other factors.
