Bureau of Cannabis Control, et al. 19CECG1224 ATTACHMENT (Number): _4_b_ _ _ _ __ (This Attachment may be used with any Judicial Council form.) Plaintiffs seek a declaration that Title 16, Section 5416(d) of the California Code of Regulations, which allows delivery of recreational cannabis to a physical address in any jurisdiction, even if a jurisdiction has passed an ordinance prohibiting or limiting such deliveries, is invalid because it contradicts the will of the voters through the passage of Proposition 64. Business and Professions Code section 26200 allows a local jurisdiction to completely prohibit the operation of recreational cannabis businesses within its boundaries, and section 26090 (c) provides that deliveries of cannabis must comply with local law. By promulgating a regulation that directly conflicts with the statutory provisions of the Business and Professions Code, the Bureau of Cannabis Control and its Chief Lori Ajax ("Defendants") have exceeded the scope of their authority under the Administrative Procedures Act, which requires all regulations promulgated by adopting agencies to be consistent with the applicable statutes. Defendants deny each and every allegation made within Plaintiffs Complaint.
