According to the board, those license holders must submit all required documents for a suitability investigation by CCB Board Agents in order to receive a conditional license.

The board also stated that those with conditional licenses may continue preparing their cannabis consumption lounges to open and a final inspection of the facility by CCB Board Agents is required for those venues to open.

On Tuesday, the board also voted to adopt regulations for greater flexibility in air ventilation requirements for those lounges. Officials said it would reduce barriers of entry for all potential licensees.
