Delaware lawmakers didn’t wait long to file legislation that serves as a potential solution to a denial notice from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that has upended the state’s plans to launch adult-use cannabis sales.
In that denial, the FBI advised the Delaware Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) that the federal agency couldn’t provide a service code for the state to initiate its statutorily required criminal background checks via a fingerprinting system. The background checks are for those who wish to obtain a license to operate an adult-use cannabis business.
