Attached is a PDF document that was prepared by Hon. Steven K. Lubell (Ret.) at californiamedicalmarijuanalicensing.com. The “Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act – Application Requirements” document outlines the new requirements that individuals will need to follow in order to obtain a license to cultivate, distribute, manufacture/process, or dispense medical marijuana in California. The requirements include:

– Labor Peace Agreement: Only applies to applicants with 20 or more employees.
– Obtain a Seller’s Permit

Another section discusses the meaning of “applicant” or owner:
– Regular owners or anyone with interest in the operations.
– If the owner is an entity, “owner” includes within the entity each person participating in the direction, control, or management of, or having a financial interest in, the proposed facility.
– If the applicant is a publicly traded company, “owner” is anyone owning 5 percent or more of the outstanding shares and the CEO.
