Proposed State Regulation Would Allow Cannabis Deliveries in All Jurisdictions
The State Bureau of Cannabis Control (“Bureau”) has just released proposed regulations implementing and interpreting the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act.
The proposal includes a regulation that would allow cannabis deliveries in all jurisdictions. Draft Regulation 5416 reads: “a delivery employee may deliver to any jurisdiction within the State of California.” If this regulation goes into effect, cities and counties could not enforce ordinances that prohibit delivery of cannabis to property within the city or county’s territory. All of the proposed regulations can be viewed on the Bureau’s website here.
Public agencies may submit written comments on the proposed regulations to the Bureau. Written comments must be received by the Bureau at its office not later than on August 27, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Written comments may be sent to:
Lori Ajax
Chief, Bureau of Cannabis Control
