Source-of-Truth State Regulatory Matrices: Make Staying Informed Easy

We understand your struggles as a cannabis business in navigating the enormous regulatory obstacles within an ever-changing framework. Regulators release updated language, notifications, advisory bulletins, and news updates every day. Regulatory bodies combine or pass along responsibilities to other agencies. Regulators fully expect you as operators to keep up with these changes and to understand how they impact your internal processes. Consequences of failure can include expensive infractions, the loss of your license, or even criminal prosecution.

Utilizing RMCC’s Compliance Guides in the Fight to Stay Informed

RMCC knows that building a qualified and knowledgeable compliance team that can stay informed and communicate changes poses significant challenges. In response to these difficulties, we’ve developed a range of compliance products you can find on our Compliance Marketplace.

The Compliance Guides available for licensing include all regulations within the state from all of the relevant regulatory bodies. RMCC includes a Rules to Know tab to highlight essential and unique rules that are invaluable to our Technology Partners’ product adaptability nationwide. Our Links/Websites tab provides you with critical links for tracking ongoing regulatory changes.

In the Statute column within each tab, we provide links to the regulatory documentation and pinpoint the specific language referenced. As the state releases new bulletins, RMCC’s Chief Compliance Officer, Lindsey Kincade, adds comments in the Statute column for the impacted regulations including a link to the bulletin and a brief description.

As regulators add or amend regulatory language, we update our guides and highlight the new or revised regulations in green to indicate changes that have occurred in the last 60 days.

If you need to know what records you’re required to keep and for how long, check out the Record Retention tab. Are you looking for information on specific documentation such as chain of custody records or procedure requirements? Ctrl + F within the guide and enter your keyword. Click the More Options icon, ensure All Sheets displays in the Search dropdown, and click Find to see references to your keyword throughout the entire guide.

If you would like a compliance guide for a state that isn’t listed above, contact leadership@rmcc.io and we can discuss creating a custom resource for your organization.
