This is the current language for caps on cultivators in SB 1262. If this passes, politicos finally have the ability to wipe out Humboldt Countys entire outdoor industry by taxing the handful of licensed cultivators (i.e. massive warehouse indoor operations) to fund ironclad enforcement. If Humboldt doesnt act now, our entire way of life could come under siege. 18134. The bureau shall limit the number of licensed cultivation sites statewide to prevent the diversion of medical marijuana for nonmedical purposes. In determining this number, the bureau shall commence its calculation with the number of cultivation sites licensed and permitted pursuant to a city, county, or city and county cultivation ordinance. The bureau shall calculate the number of sites pursuant to this section based upon the following, after consultation with law enforcement representatives, health care providers, and local and statewide health officials: (a) The need to prevent the potential of diversion of medical marijuana for nonmedical purposes. (b) The number of applicants whose applications for licensed cultivation sites demonstrate that they will be able to produce consistent products with strict quality controls in full compliance with this part and with all applicable state and local regulations, and the amount of medical marijuana those applicants will be able to provide. (c) The need for the bureau to ensure that the number of licensed cultivation sites it approves does not exceed the ability of the bureau to enforce the provisions of this part, particularly with respect to conducting regular site visits and audits, ensuring patient safety, and preventing illegal diversion of marijuana. (d) A license for a facility or cultivation site shall not be issued for a premises that is located in a jurisdiction where the exercise of the rights and privileges conferred by the license are contrary to a valid zoning ordinance of the city, county, or city and county.
