Refusing renew, suspending, or revoking a license of a tobacco retail dealer or an electronic cigarette retail dealer that has violated certain authorization requirements of the cannabis law.

This bill would allow the Commissioner of Consumer and Worker Protection to refuse to renew, suspend, or revoke a tobacco retailer dealer license or an electronic cigarette retail dealer license upon a finding that the holder of such license violated subdivision 1 or 1-a of section 125 of the Cannabis Law through the sale of cannabis without the appropriate license, or through the indirect retail sale of cannabis irrespective of whether a license had been obtained. This bill would also require the Commissioner of Consumer and Worker Protection to conduct an education and outreach campaign to inform affected licensees of the new grounds added by this local law for refusal to renew, suspension, or revocation of a license.
