BUREAU OF CANNABIS CONTROL ANNOUNCES CEQA PROPOSED PROGRAM STUDY RESULTS AND PUBLIC WORKSHOP
MEETINGS
SACRAMENTO—The Bureau of Cannabis Control today announced the conclusion of the California Environmental
Quality Act(CEQA) Proposed Program study.
As the lead agency under CEQA,the Bureau has prepared an Initial Study/Proposed Negative Declaration (IS/ND)for the
Proposed Program. Based on the findings of the IS/ND,the Bureau has determined that the Proposed Program would
not have any significant effects on the environment.
The Bureau is developing regulations pursuant to the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act
(MAUCRSA)to establish a regulatory licensing and enforcement program (Proposed Program)for commercial cannabis
distributors, retailers,testing laboratories and microbusinesses.
The overall purpose of the Proposed Program is to establish a regulatory licensing and enforcement program that
ensures medicinal and adult-use commercial cannabis activities are performed in a manner that protects the
environment, commercial cannabis industry workers,the general public and complies with applicable laws.

September 18, Fresno on September 20 and Sacramento on September 21. All meetings will be held from 6 p.m.to 8
