The "Medical Cannabis Signs and Advertising Rulemaking Approval Resolution of 2025" is a proposed resolution submitted by Mayor Muriel Bowser to the Council of the District of Columbia for approval. This resolution seeks to endorse emergency and proposed rules established by the District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board on May 15, 2024, which amend sections 5800 and 5801 of Title 22-C of the DCMR. The amendments aim to clarify regulations regarding signage and advertising for medical cannabis facilities, ensuring compliance with the Medical Cannabis Program Enforcement Temporary Amendment Act of 2024. The proposed rules were published in the DC Register on July 26, 2024, and no public comments were received during the thirty-day comment period, making them ready for Council review.

The resolution outlines specific changes to the regulations, including limitations on the size and placement of signs advertising medical cannabis, as well as prohibitions against misleading statements regarding compliance with cannabis laws. The Council is required to approve or disapprove the proposed rules within 30 days of submission, and if no action is taken, the rules will be deemed approved. The fiscal impact statement indicates that the necessary funds are available in the proposed budget to implement these regulations, and the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board can enforce the rules with its current resources.
