California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to bring all of the state’s cannabis licensing programs under one roof, aiming to better coordinate a complicated mix of regulators.

In his 2020-21 budget plan, Newsom is proposing to create a Department of Cannabis Control.

It would assume licensing authority from the three existing agencies, the Bureau of Cannabis Control, under the Department of Consumer Affairs; CalCannabis, under the Department of Food and Agriculture; and the Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch, under the Department of Public Health.

“Establishing a stand-alone department with dedicated enforcement will centralize and align critical regulatory functions to build a successful legal cannabis market, and create a single point of contact for cannabis licensees and local governments,” according to the budget summary.
