(a) The Authority shall inform the state medical marijuana licensing authority of its investigations, inspections, and all decisions approving new licenses, issuing new licenses, imposing conditions on licenses, renewing licenses, approving major changes in licenses, and sanctions imposed on licenses.

(b) To the extent that such coordination is reasonably feasible and efficient, the Authority shall coordinate its investigations and actions with the State Department of Revenue, but the Authority reserves the right to act independently and to reach its own findings of fact, findings of law, and conclusions regarding approvals, issuance, denials, conditions, renewals, major changes, sanctions of licenses, and any other matter related to licenses, without regard to the findings of fact, findings of law, and conclusions that the state may reach regarding the same licenses based on the same incident or conduct.

(c) The approval or issuance of a license under this Article shall not constitute a representation, in any way, by the Authority that the licensee is qualified for or will receive a state medical marijuana license. (Ord. 1348, 2011; Ord. 1463 §4, 2018)
