AL GA SC NE IA OH IL IN WV VA DE MD DC SD ND MN MA WI MI PA NJ NY RI CT ME State News Alabama State-issued medical marijuana licenses would be revoked and businesses forced to " start from scratch " and reapply for a fourth time under a bill that advanced out of a state Senate committee. Though Alabama legalized MMJ in 2021, sales have yet to begin, and a promised 2024 launch date now seems questionable. State Sen. Tim Melson's Senate Bill 306 would revoke the five licenses for vertically integrated businesses that regulators issued late last year and force companies to reapply yet again, the Alabama Daily News reported. " We need to throw (out) every license applicant that received (a license), Melson said. " This bill just wipes the slate clean. " In addition to the five coveted integrated facility permits, Alabama will license no more than 12 cultivators, four processors and four dispensaries. Dispensary license holders will be allowed to operate up to three locations. Only the integrated business licenses would be revoked if SB 306 were to become law. The bill also would severely curtail the power of regulators and grant licensing authority to the state Securities Exchange Commission, according to the Alabama Political Reporter. mjbizdaily.com | May-June 2024 19http://www.mjbizdaily.com
