   1. Add the following definition for management companies that engage in commercial cannabis activity: Management company is defined as any person who participates in the management, direction or control of the operations of a business licensed to conduct commercial cannabis activity, or any person who participates in the management, direction or control of another person who participates in the management, direction or control of the operations of a business licensed to conduct commercial cannabis activity. A management company shall not hold equity ownership in the applicant licensee or have the authority to make major decisions impacting the corporate structure of the applicant or licensee or the license held by the applicant or licensee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a management company may receive revenue or profit-based compensation, subject to limitations established by the DCR. Nothing herein shall exempt management companies from disclosure requirements as required by the City of Los Angeles.
      
      
   2. Require Social Equity Applicant or Licensee to obtain written approval from the DCR before engaging the services of a management company. The DCR shall not approve the engagement of a management company in the absence of a written agreement or contract.

   5. An applicant or licensee shall be responsible for all acts or omissions of its management company in connection with compliance with State and City law.
      
      
   6. Require all management companies engaged in commercial cannabis activity within the City of Los Angeles to register and maintain appropriate records with the DCR.
      
      
   7. Add a provision to require that management companies are limited to entering into management agreements for no more than three percent of commercial cannabis businesses within the City of Los Angeles, by license type.  The percentage will increase one percent on July 1st of every year beginning in 2019 until a total of seven percent is reached. Tier 1 and Tier 2 social equity applicants are exempt for the management company license limits.
      
      
   8. Increase term of Social Equity Program (SEP) agreements to five years. Allow SEP licensed businesses to terminate their agreement with the Social Equity applicant after five years, with the approval of the DCR. SEP licensed business has right of first refusal to buy out SEP applicant.

Further clarify that Tiers 1 through 3 applicants may apply for non-retail under the 1:1 ratio. Overall, Tier 1 applicants receive priority processing over Tier 2 applicants, and Tier 2 applicants receive priority processing over Tier 3 applicants.

   12. Provide more flexibility to comply for Tier 3 applicants under LAMC Section 104.20 (e) such as an in-lieu fee or comparable amount of commercial cannabis space in an otherwise compliant off-site location.
       
       
   13. Allow social equity applicants to apply who do not have local land use authorization.  SEP agreements that are approved under this provision will be conditional approvals.  Local land use authorization must be obtained prior to completing the licensing process.
