gender identity or expression, age, disability, or national origin, including, without limitation,

sexual harassment. Such written policies and procedures must include, without limitation:

(a) The procedures and methods available to a person seeking to report an instance of

workplace discrimination or harassment; and

(b) The procedures the licensed cannabis establishment will follow when investigating a

report of workplace discrimination or harassment.

 

2. The written policies and procedures required by this section shall address and apply to

workplace discrimination or harassment, including, without limitation, sexual harassment,

manager, employee, or independent contractor; or

(b) A person outside the cannabis establishment, including, without limitation, a customer, client, vendor, contractor, consultant, or other person that does business with the organization.

 

3. The Chair, the Chair’s designee, Board Member, or Board Agent may, at any time, inspect

the written policies and procedures required pursuant to this section, and all records related

4. The Chair, or the Chair’s designee, may require a licensed cannabis establishment to submit

the written policies and procedures adopted and implemented pursuant to subsection 1 for

the Chair’s, or the Chair’s designee’s, review. If the Chair, or the Chair’s designee, makes an

administrative determination that the licensed cannabis establishment’s written policies and

procedures do not adequately address the requirements set forth in subsection 1, the Chair, or

the Chair’s designee, may issue a determination identifying the deficiency and specifying a time

certain within which the deficiency must be cured. Any licensed cannabis establishment

affected by such an administrative determination may request a hearing from the Board.
