SB 59, to extend provisional licenses for cannabis businesses, with special allowance for equity businesses, is heading for a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Monday, May 10.

This bill is critical to the fledgling cannabis industry: as of March 2021, 83% of the legal cannabis industry was operating under provisional licenses. Bottlenecks at local levels are holding up permanent licensing; meanwhile provisionals are set to expire and must be extended.

Please write to your State Senator today and and ask for their support on SB 59.
