The Small Business Administration shall establish and carry out a grant program to be known as the Equitable Licensing Grant Program to provide eligible entities funds to develop and implement equitable cannabis licensing programs that minimize barriers to cannabis licensing and employment for individuals most adversely impacted by the war on drugs, provided that each grantee includes at least four of the six of the following elements in its licensing program: A waiver of cannabis license application fees for individuals most adversely impacted by the war on drugs who are first-time applicants.
A prohibition on the denial of a cannabis license based on a conviction of a cannabis-related offense. A prohibition on criminal conviction restrictions for licensing except in instances where the conviction is relevant to owning and operating a business. A prohibition on cannabis license holders from engaging in suspicion less cannabis drug testing of their prospective or current employees, except in instances of drug testing for safety-sensitive positions as defined by the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 ( Public Law 102–143 ).
The establishment of a cannabis licensing board, that is reflective of the racial, ethnic, economic, and gender composition of the State or locality, to serve as an oversight body of the equitable licensing program. The establishment of a grant program from cannabis tax revenue to support non-profit community-based organizations that provide business training and technical, management, and marketing assistance to individuals most adversely impacted by the war on drugs who are starting, sustaining, or expanding a cannabis business.
