Local Approval Process Cont. <br /> Local Retail Registration Process (342.22) <br /> Once the licensing process begins, local government registration applies to licensed <br /> cannabis retailers or other cannabis/hemp businesses seeking to conduct retail sales. <br /> Several license types are authorized to conduct retail sales if they receive a retail <br /> endorsement from OCM. Prior to conducting retail sales under their business license, <br /> state law also requires the business receive a local retail registration. <br /> There are five license types that are eligible to conduct cannabis retail activity and will <br /> seek a retail registration from local governments: <br /> • Cannabis retailers <br /> • Microbusinesses <br /> • Mezzobusinesses <br /> • Medical cannabis combination businesses <br /> • Lower-potency hemp edible retailers <br /> Local governments must issue a retail registration after verifying that: <br /> • The business has a valid license issued by OCM. <br /> • The business has paid a registration fee or renewal fee to the local government. <br /> o Initial registration fees collected by a local government may be $500 or half <br /> the amount of the applicable initial license fee, whichever is less, and <br /> renewal registration fees may be $1,000 or half the amount of the applicable <br /> renewal license fee, whichever is less. <br /> • The business is found to be in compliance with Chapter 342 and local ordinances. <br /> • If applicable, the business is current on all property taxes and assessments for the <br /> proposed retail location. <br /> Local registrations may also be issued by counties if the respective local government <br /> transfers such authorities to the county. <br /> m MINNeSOTA Page 17 <br /> OFFICE OF CANNABIS MANAGEMENT <br />
