(A) Suspension or expiration of a state license issued to a commercial cannabis business shall immediately suspend the ability of that commercial cannabis business to operate within the city, and shall serve to suspend the CCBP, unless the state reinstates or reissues the state license within 90 days. Should the state license remain suspended or expired for 90 days or longer, any CCBP issued pursuant to this chapter shall expire and be of no further force and effect. Should the state revoke or terminate the license of a commercial cannabis business for cause, such revocation or termination shall also serve to revoke or terminate the CCBP and the ability of a commercial cannabis business permitted pursuant to this chapter, including any owner or manager thereof, to operate any commercial cannabis business within the city for a period of five years from the date of such revocation or termination.
(B) A permittee shall have no right to appeal the expiration, suspension or revocation of a CCBP or the ability to operate a commercial cannabis business under this chapter that is based on the status of their state license; provided, however, an owner or manager thereof may appeal their prohibition from operating another commercial cannabis business in the city. Such appeal shall be based on the hearing procedures set forth in this chapter. The burden shall at all times be on the appellant to show good cause why the prohibition should be reversed or modified.
