Additional Information

​Request to Sell Cannabis Business License

Kentucky law expressly permits the sale of medical cannabis business licenses. The language of KRS 218B.080, which provides requirements for licenses, issuance, and renewals, states:

(6) The cabinet shall approve a license holder's sale of a license issued pursuant to this section and KRS 218B.085 and 218B.090 if the purchaser and any new facilities meet the requirements of this chapter.

In accordance with this, and other provisions passed by the General Assembly, the Office of Medical Cannabis has promulgated regulations providing for how medical cannabis business licensees may sell or transfer a license.

915 KAR 1:020E, Section 10 provides the requirements for licensees who would like to request to sell their cannabis business license. The sale of a cannabis business license shall not occur unless the Office approves the sale in writing. After reviewing the request, the Office shall notify the licensee in writing whether the proposed sale is approved or denied. 

The Office shall consider the initial license application requirements for cannabis business licenses contained in KRS Chapter 218B and 915 KAR 1:010E, and any other factors that the Office deems relevant in making its determination on the request. You can read 915 KAR 1:020E in its entirety here​. ​
