Ashley:

A discussion ofthis case should be part ofthe briefing on m.j. at the July27 worksession. Dowe have an option of using our business license ordinance to prevent both the sale of medical and recreational m.j. ? Is our business license ordinance substantially the same as that of Cave Junction? If not, would you advise any changes in our ordinance if the Council wants to rely on it to deny business licences to m.j. businesses?

-Original Message- From: Rick Lewis Sent: Monday, June 29, 2015 6:40 PM To: Bob Willoughby Subject: CaveJunction's Court decisionon Marijuana Dispensaries

Forthe Council: The Cityof CaveJunction successfully challengedOregon's Medical marijuana law on the groundsthat they had a right to deny a dispensary under their City Business License ordinance. Their ordinance (like ours) requires that a businesscomply with all local, state andfederal laws. The Citydenied a business license on those grounds. It was challenged and the City won. Here is a synopsis of the decision.

Rick

Cave Junction II Litigation: Court Upholds City Business License Ordinance In a case known as Providing All Patients Access v. City of Cave Junction, a trial court judge recently ruled that the City of Cave Junction could deny a business license to a medical marijuana dispensary. This case was brought by a medical marijuana dispensary owner challenging the city's denial of a business license. The city's ordinance provided that the city would revoke a business license from any business that violates local, state or federal law. Because distribution of marijuana violates the federal Controlled Substances Act, the city revoked the dispensary's business license. The dispensary owner claimed that the city was preempted by state lawfrom revoking the business license. The League and Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) intervened in the case on the side of the city, arguing that state law did not preempt local governments from enforcingthese types of business license ordinances. In the alternative, the city, the Leagueand AOC argued that if the city waspreempted by state law, then federal law overrode that preemption. In issuing his decision,the judge notedthat he wasdeciding the caseon federal grounds. (A copy ofthe opinion can be found here). Specifically, he noted that any state preemption was without effect because state law conflicted with the purposes ofthe federal Controlled SubstancesAct. In reachingthat decision,the judge indicated hewas presuming withoutdeciding that the state law actually preempted the city. Thiscase is only bindingon the partiesto it anddoes not have statewideeffect. However, if the dispensaryowner appeals as expected, a decision from the Court of Appeals in the case would then have statewide effect. This is the second case involving Cave Junction and marijuana. The League also intervened in the first case and won on the grounds that state law was not preemptive of a city's ability to ban dispensaries through a business license ordinance.That case is currently on appeal beforethe Oregon Court ofAppeals. For more information about those cases and marijuana generally, visit the League's marijuana resources page here.
