If current marijuana producers do not use all the increased production space, the liquor and cannabis board may reopen the license period for new marijuana producer license applicants  but only to those mariuan producers who agree to grow products for medical marijuana endorsed retail outlets.  Priority in licensing must be given to marijuana producer license applicants who have an application pending on the effective date of this section but who are not yet licensed and then to new marijuana producer license applicants."

EFFECT:  If the currently licensed marijuana producers do not use up the canopy that is made available for the production of products for medical marijuana endorsed stores, the liquor and cannabis board may reopen licensing to consider pending applicants first and then new applicant so long as products are being grown for the medical marijuana endorsed stores.
