The amount of the regulatory assessment for licensed medical marijuana facilities is
determined annually as required by Section 603 of the Medical Marihuana Facilities
Licensing Act and must be paid by those persons approved for licensure by the Marijuana
Regulatory Agency (MRA) prior to issuance or renewal of each state operating license.
As the market is maturing and the MRA continues to issue new licenses and renew existing
licenses, regulatory costs are now spread across more payers into the marijuana regulatory
fund. This has resulted in a significant reduction to the regulatory assessments for Fiscal
Year 2021 (beginning October 1, 2020 and ending September 30, 2021):
| State Operating License Type | New License | Top Tier Renewal | Middle Tier Renewal | Bottom Tier Renewal |
| Grower Class A | $7,000 | $9,333 | $7,000 | $4,667 |
| Grower Class B | $14,000 | $18,667 | $14,000 | $9,333 |
| Grower Class C | $21,000 | $28,000 | $21,000 | $14,000 |
| Processor | $21,000 | $28,000 | $21,000 | $14,000 |
| Provisioning Center | $13,125 | $17,500 | $13,125 | $8,750 |
| Secure Transporter | $13,125 | $17,500 | $13,125 | $8,750 |
| Safety Compliance Facility | No fee | No fee | No fee | No fee |
Each new license issued will pay the new license regulatory assessment listed above and
each renewal license will pay the renewal regulatory assessment listed above based upon
their market share during the previous fiscal year, as defined by Rule 420.
To expedite the renewal process, all new licenses issued to existing licensees will be
prorated so that the expiration date for all licenses held by a licensee will have the same
expiration date as the licensee’s initial state operating license
