The first license, a retail cannabis consumption lounge license, allows existing dispensaries to add space for a lounge that is attached or adjacent to their adult-use cannabis retail store.
While the CCB has yet to provide official guidance on many of the new regulations and procedures of this law—including new employee training requirements and mandatory ventilation systems—on July 1, existing dispensaries can start the application process for licensing with the CCB with potential opening dates toward the end of 2021.
Retail establishments will be subject to CCB regulations setting forth procedures and requirements for curbside pickup, as well as local government ordinances that may limit this feature.
Effective July 1, 2021, cannabis establishment employees will now be required to take a 10-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor within one year of being hired.
Assembly Bill 326 authorizes a district or city attorney to bring a civil action against any person who engages in certain cannabis-related activities without the required license or registration cards provided by the CCB.
Importantly, Assembly Bill 326 also creates a “cannabis establishment agent registration card” for cannabis receivers, and receivers for cannabis establishments will no longer be permitted to act as a receiver without first obtaining the required registration card.
