title
Public hearing to consider a Consistency Determination (ALUC-18-08) for the proposed County of Solano Commercial Cannabis Regulations with the Travis Air Force Base, Nut Tree Airport and Rio Vista Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (Sponsor: County of Solano)

INTRODUCTION:
The California statewide general election held on November 8, 2016 included Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). The Act, passed by the voters, will:

(3) rewrite criminal penalties so as to reduce the most common marijuana felonies to misdemeanors and allow prior offenders to petition for reduced charges.
The initiative permits personal possession and cultivation, commercial cultivation, testing, manufacture, distribution, sales and delivery of marijuana for recreational use to occur statewide.
