Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser signed into law today the Medical Cannabis Conditional Licensure Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2025.
The new law amends the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1999 to extend the expiration dates of conditional licenses for medical cannabis businesses. Instead of being capped at two years, conditional licenses for cultivation centers, retailers, internet retailers, manufacturers, couriers, and testing laboratories will now remain valid for up to three years. In addition, the law automatically converts existing licenses to the new system. One-year conditional licenses that previously converted into two-year licenses will now automatically extend to three years. These updated licenses will expire two years after their original expiration date, without requiring extra approval from the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board or any additional fees.
The legislation takes effect immediately and will remain active until January 2026…
