“No director, officer, member, incorporator, agent, or employee of a dispensary, cultivation center, or testing laboratory who has access to the medical marijuana at the dispensary, cultivation center, or testing laboratory shall have a felony conviction; provided, that the Mayor shall not disqualify any of the forgoing individuals solely for a felony conviction of possession with intent to distribute marijuana that occurred before the July 17, 2014.”
Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) unveiled a cannabis legalization bill last year, and part of it calls for ABRA to regulate the legal industry and for the agency to be renamed the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration.
For example, lawmakers approved emergency legislation in May that temporarily extended a policy protecting local government employees against workplace discrimination due to their locally authorized use of marijuana.
