CA AB2456

Requires the Bureau of Cannabis Control to develop a model local ordinance that local jurisdictions may adopt to license retail cannabis businesses.

Mandates the Bureau of Cannabis Control make the model ordinance publicly available on its internet website.

Addresses California's limited legal cannabis retail market, which has fewer than 650 licenses statewide with only one retailer for every 35,147 adults over 21, compared to one retailer per 5,567 adults in Oregon.

Declares the legislation implements substantive provisions of Proposition 64 (the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act) and furthers its purposes and intent.
