Since September 2021, the Department of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) has been working with the City Council to amend Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 104.00 et seq. (Cannabis Procedures Ordinance). The recently adopted ordinance and Rules and Regulations provide application process timelines, revise definitions, create a refiling process for Applicants, and clarify the process for Phase 3 Retail Round 2.
In accordance with Council instruction, the Office of the City Attorney transmitted the draft ordinance on March 15, 2022 which reflects these amendments. In addition, DCR has also updated the Rules and Regulations to support and provide further clarity to the licensing processes and operational requirements. The ordinance and updated Rules and Regulations were approved by the City Council on April 5, 2022.
To help ensure understanding of these changes DCR is hosting a second live webinar on Thursday April 14th from 2-3:30 p.m. that will cover these amendments and how they will impact current and future Applicants and Licensees.
You can join the Zoom webinar here and may submit pre-webinar questions here; the Department may address questions submitted during its presentation. The password for the Zoom webinar is 231553. Please note DCR will not discuss any questions regarding specific applications.
