Next Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission meeting set for Monday
The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission meets Monday for a general discussion of state laws and research around the medicine.
According to the Nebraska Examiner, Monday’s meeting agenda doesn’t explain how close the commission is to releasing more permanent rules and regulations. Once those guidelines are released, commissioners would need to schedule a public hearing at least 30 days out. The agenda does include a section on general “rule updates,” as well as a plan to thank the public for various comments received by July 15 on the board’s temporary guidance for medical cannabis licensing.
The commission has until Oct. 1 to begin licensing medical cannabis establishments.
The Medical Cannabis Commission meets at 1 p.m. Monday in the Meadowlark Conference Room on the lower level of the State Office Building in Lincoln, 301 Centennial Mall South.
