CCB grants conditional agent card with 90-day employer-verification requirement
Summary
The Cannabis Compliance Board granted a conditional approval for an agent card, subject to the applicant’s employer providing a verification letter within 90 days. The board directed staff to expedite processing once the letter is received.
The Cannabis Compliance Board on June 18 granted a conditional exception allowing an individual to receive an agent card for cultivation, production and dispensary activity on the condition that the applicant’s employer submit a verification letter within 90 days acknowledging employment and awareness of the applicant’s convictions. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
During the petition portion of the meeting the applicant (identified in the record as Damon Stevenson attending the meeting) asked that the session be closed for the petition portion; the board closed the petition portion by motion and vote. A board member moved to grant the exception with conditions: within 90 days the employer must provide a letter to the Cannabis Compliance Board verifying employment and that the employer is aware of the convictions. If the letter is not submitted within 90 days the individual will be called back to the board for status and further direction.
Board members emphasized making sure the applicant understood the conditions before voting. A staff member told the board they would “expedite” processing once the verification letter arrived and confirmed the board would process the agent cards as quickly as possible upon receipt.
Why it matters: agent cards authorize individuals to work in regulated cannabis establishments; conditional approvals with employer verification provide a way for applicants with past convictions to enter the workforce while allowing the board to maintain oversight.
The board recorded the vote as carried by voice; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript excerpt. The board did not add other conditions beyond the 90-day employer-letter requirement and the requirement to return to the board if the letter is not received.
