After January 1, 2025, the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) will no longer renew provisional licenses. If your provisional license expires in 2025, you must transition to an annual license before you will be eligible to renew.
Failure to resolve outstanding licensing deficiencies and meet requirements for annual licensure or comply with applicable laws can result in suspension or revocation of the provisional license and denial of the annual license application. If your license is suspended, revoked, or cancelled, you must immediately cease all commercial cannabis activity pursuant to the license.
Contact DCC now for any questions regarding the status of your annual application!
Are there any exceptions to the January 1, 2025, deadline?
Yes, locally verified equity retail licenses with valid provisional licenses may be eligible for provisional license renewal. For more information about renewing locally verified equity retail provisional licenses, please review Business and Professions Code sections 26240 and 26050.5(c).
