Today on the show MCBA Board President Kaliko Castille covers an article from Missouri Independent: Missouri regulators say they’re close to naming marijuana chief equity officer
Here's the background:
Missouri's Department of Health and Human Services (DHSS) is set to appoint a chief equity officer for its marijuana program by February 6th, a position meant to ensure the social and economic equity requirements of Missouri’s new marijuana law are met.
The chief equity officer will be responsible for leading communication about the program, conducting reviews for microbusinesses, and promoting educational programming around the licensing process and available support and resources for individuals applying for microbusiness licenses.
The officer will also establish targeted technical assistance programming to communities impacted by cannabis prohibition and compile an annual report on compliance.
