Sonoma County and Santa Rosa city officials are holding more town hall meetings on local regulations of marijuana in the upcoming week, including one on Tuesday evening.
The county and the city of Santa Rosa are developing ordinances and polices for regulations that are tailored to meet local needs and establish local control of commercial marijuana efforts in view of California’s new Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act.
The legislation was approved by the Legislature and governor in fall of 2015. The legislature consists of three different bills which create a state licensing framework for the various aspects of cultivating, selling, transporting and testing of commercial marijuana. Regulations are expected to be developed by the start of 2018.
The town hall meetings in Sonoma County will offer discussion on the status of the regulatory process, concerns regarding agriculture and the environment, health and human services, taxation an revenue, economic development public safety and enforcement.
