Arizona Tightens Social Equity Rules In Advance Of Cannabis Licensing
The licenses are to be selected by a random drawing in early 2022
Arizona regulators finalized rules for the 26 social equity licenses to be issued as part of the state’s adult-use cannabis program, adding language that prevents an applicant from entering into a prior agreement to sell or transfer the license to a nonqualifying operator.
The Arizona Department of Health Services issued the final rules last week, with applications scheduled to be accepted during the first two weeks of December, the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson reported.
The licenses are to be selected by a random drawing in early 2022.
