Public Hearing Decisions

The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) conducts public protest hearings to consider objections to proposed marijuana establishment locations. These hearings provide an opportunity for local residents to express concerns and for applicants to present information regarding their proposed operations.

Following the hearing, the Commissioner reviews the evidence, applicable laws, and regulations to determine whether the proposed establishment meets the requirements for approval. Written decisions and orders are published to provide transparency regarding the outcome and the basis for the Commissioner’s determination.
