Pursuant to Rule 14 of the Marihuana Licenses Rule Set (R 420.14) and Rule 2 of the Marihuana Disciplinary Proceedings Rule Set (R 420.802), all applicants and licensees are required to notify the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (Agency) of a material change to the marijuana business prior to making a change. The Agency’s Reporting Form is used to notify the Agency of such proposed changes.
To better assist licensees with notifying the Agency of proposed changes, the Reporting Form has been split into two categories: License Maintenance and Enforcement. The new Reporting Forms can be accessed on the Agency’s website here.
When notifying the Agency of proposed changes, the Reporting Form and applicable required supporting documentation should be submitted via Accela Citizen Access (ACA) as indicated in the Reporting Form Instructions.
Please note, Reporting Forms must be submitted to and approved by the Agency prior to the change being made. If a plan review will be required by the Bureau of Fire Services, the licensee will be notified after the initial review by the Agency has been completed.
Changes that are required to be reported to the Agency include, but are not limited to:
Reporting Form – Enforcement:
- Change of processing machinery or equipment
- Change operational or method changes requiring inspection
- Additions or reductions in equipment or processes
- Increase or decrease in the size or capacity of the marijuana business

- Change or modification to the marijuana business
