The Streatery Program Endorsement Extension and Medical Cannabis Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to extend the Streatery Program endorsements through December 31, 2025, while also clarifying endorsement deadlines for specific classes of licensees. The bill amends section 25-113 of the District of Columbia Official Code by replacing the years 2022 and 2023 with 2022, 2023, 2024, and through December 31, 2025, and specifies that certain licensees must pay their fees for 2025 by September 30, 2025. Additionally, the bill repeals the Streatery Program Endorsement Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2024.
Furthermore, the bill makes clarifying amendments to the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1999. It adjusts the distance restrictions for retailers and internet retailers from schools and recreation centers, allowing those who applied for licenses before a specified date to locate within 300 feet instead of 400 feet. The bill also permits unlicensed establishments that applied during a designated application period to locate within 300 feet of these facilities if they are situated on commercially or industrially zoned land.
