Motion would let cannabis shops renew licenses despite unpaid city taxes
About 125 licensees became ineligible to renew after a new tax rule took effect while the promised amnesty program was delayed.
Cannabis businesses that owe back city taxes could still renew their licenses if they would have qualified for the city's delayed tax amnesty program, apply on time and pay renewal fees. Councilmember Imelda Padilla's motion directs the Department of Cannabis Regulation to act, and goes to the City Council.
