The Medical Cannabis Conditional Licensure Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to extend the expiration dates of conditional licenses for various medical cannabis entities, including cultivation centers, retailers, internet retailers, manufacturers, couriers, and testing laboratories, from two years to four years. This extension is intended to provide current license holders with additional time to secure permanent locations and to promote ongoing participation in the District's legal medical cannabis market. The bill includes specific amendments to the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1999, changing the language regarding the duration and conditions of these licenses.

Key amendments in the bill include changing the phrase "a 2-year conditional license" to "a conditional license valid for up to 3 years," and allowing licenses that were automatically converted to a 2-year term to now convert to a 3-year term. Additionally, the bill clarifies that license holders will have until the end of the term of their conditional license to meet requirements, rather than a fixed two-year period. The legislation is designed to support the growth and regulation of the medical cannabis industry in the District of Columbia while ensuring that the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration can effectively manage the licensing process under the new timelines.
