KY SB270

Amends KRS 243.100 to add cannabis-infused beverages alongside alcoholic beverages in licensing disqualification criteria for individuals and business entities

Individuals are disqualified from obtaining a license if convicted of a felony (5-year waiting period), controlled substance misdemeanor (2-year waiting period), or alcohol/cannabis-related misdemeanor (2-year waiting period)

Business entities (partnerships, LLCs, corporations) cannot be licensed if any principal owner, partner, member, officer, or director fails to meet individual qualification standards

State administrators must examine ownership and management of all applicants and deny applications where disqualified persons hold direct or indirect interests in the business

Direct shipper license applicants are exempt from these requirements and must instead follow KRS 243.027
