Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
This ordinance changes the date for the first required location lottery for the distribution of certain marijuana business licenses from the year 2017 to the year 2021. This change will align the timing of the lottery with the completion of regulatory obligations associated with the processing of applications that were pending as of May 1, 2016. This change will also allow the Department the time needed to create a comprehensive marijuana licensing equity program that spans all license types prior to the first lottery.
