        General Information and Operational Regulations

        General information

        • The Department uses this application and checklist to validate everything submitted. The application is rejected if any requested item is not provided, and a license may not be issued or renewed if any item is missing.
        • All Key Participants (including general partners, officers, and directors) must apply for a criminal background check. The license is not issued until all results are received, and the application is denied if a Key Participant has been convicted of an excluded felony offense (RSIC Ordinance 61, Sec. 61-1-104).
        • All materials submitted are retained as part of the establishment's permanent record. The security plan is confidential, for sole use by the CEA and RSIC Tribal Police.
        • Other licenses or permits may be required and must be obtained before operating. The applicant is responsible for all changes and additional time needed to correct plans or obtain them.
        • The Department acts on an application within ninety (90) days of receipt and may approve, approve with conditions, issue a Conditional License, or deny it (with written reasons). A license is a revocable privilege; the applicant bears the burden of proving its qualification.
        • No license is issued until the Department completes a satisfactory inspection of the establishment, which may take more than one visit. Submitting this application permits entry and reasonable inspection by the Department, with or without notice.

        Operational regulations

        • Public use or consumption of marijuana at the establishment is prohibited, except under a Special Permit.
        • Notify the Department if the business closes or ceases operations.
        • Report monthly sales with the tax calculation, and pay taxes in full by the due date.
        • Submit an annual report for each calendar year: preliminary by February 15, final by March 31.
        • Every employee must obtain, maintain, and carry a Marijuana Establishment Agent (MEA) card (Regulation CEA-61-21-01).
        • The licensed establishment may be inspected by the Department and RSIC Tribal Police with or without notice; the licensee pays any required inspection fees.
        • Display permits and licenses in view of patrons; remove or cover graffiti within 48 hours; keep marijuana, products, and paraphernalia out of view from outside the building.
        • Retail public access is limited to 8:00 a.m. to midnight; changes to approved hours need prior Department approval.
        • Dispose of marijuana and waste safely, securely, and unusably, at a Department-approved location — never in an unlocked exterior refuse container.

        See Ordinance 61 and Regulation CEA-61-21-02 for the complete requirements, including the grounds for denial, suspension, and revocation.

        I hereby certify the information given above and attached hereto is true and correct and that falsification of fact will result in denial of the application or suspension/revocation of the Marijuana Establishment License. I understand that all application information, with the exception of the security plan, is a matter of Department record. The Security Plan and the personal information obtained for each Board Member and Officer shall be maintained as Confidential Information by the Department.
