On June 27, 2017,the Governor signed MAUCRSA, which creates one regulatory system for both medicinal and adult-
usecammabis. Priorto that law's passage, state licensing authorities had released proposed regulations togovern the
implementation of the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act.The public hearings and comments from a broad
cross section ofstakeholders that were informing that regulatory process, have also been taken into consideration in the
drafting ofthese proposed emergency regulations.
The licensing authorities expect the emergency regulations to be effective in December 2017.The implementation date
for the issuance of the state commercial cannabis licenses remains the same:January 1, 2018. However, California will
only be able to license those businesses that are in compliance will all local laws.
