Jerry Brown's office, with overall executive authority over cannabis regulation. Neither the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control nor the Department of Consumer Affairs will have regulatory responsibilities, although both will be consulted in crafting the state portion of the enforcement framework. Local governments will have primary enforcement responsibilities, with the Department of Justice identified as the state entity specifically tasked with broad enforcement responsibilities, on an as needed basis. Among the local control protections that remain intact in the new version of the bill are the following: Both a state license and a local permit will be required to legally operate a cannabis business in California. Revocation of either the state license, or a local license, shall by operation of law terminate the ability of a cannabis business to operate in California. Evidence of compliance with applicable local ordinances will be a requirement of state licensure. The state license must be revoked if locals advise a state agency that a licensee is in violation of local requirements. Delivery services may only operate if they are specifically authorized by local ordinance. Primarily local enforcement, with a provision for the state to step in only if necessary."
