SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS OF THE MARIJUANA CONTROL BOARD
REINSTATEMENT-FAILURE TO RENEW
Brief description: the Marijuana Control Board proposes to change regulations in Title 3, Chapter 306 of the Alaska Administrative Code dealing with the reinstatement of a license. The changes amend several sections to incorporate the reinstatement of a license for failure to renew on time, including a reinstatement fee.
The Marijuana Control Board proposes to adopt regulation changes in 3 AAC 306 of the Alaska Administrative Code, dealing with reinstatement of license – failure to renew, including the following:
- 3 AAC 306.035 is amended, including adding new subsections, to allow for a licensee to submit a renewal application along with a statement of reasons for failure to submit a renewal application on time no later than September 30 of the year on which the license expired.
- 3 AAC 306.080 is repealed and readopted for logical progression. The “new” language is (c) which lays out provisions for which the board will deny an application for reinstatement including, but not limited to, the application was submitted later than September 30 of the applicable year, the applicant was granted a reinstatement within ten years prior, or the failure to submit a timely renewal application is due to excusable oversight.
- Adds the word/phrase “reinstatement” or “license reinstatement” to 3 AAC 306.085, 3 AAC 306.090, and 3 AAC 306.095.
- 3 AAC 306.100(b) is amended to include the non-refundable reinstatement fee.
