Details for the current bond and conditional escrow alternative

The Commission's posted adult-use and medical regulations, both effective September 11, 2026, require proof before commencing operations. Each section 105(16) states a bond sum equal to the applicable licensure fee. Confirm the actual license, required security and Commission direction; do not infer that a fee waiver automatically eliminates the security requirement.

The secured costs include destruction of cannabis goods necessitated by a violation of the applicable law or rules, a court appointee's costs and compensation, cessation of the establishment's operation and other Commission-authorized public-health, safety and welfare uses. Match this condition to the actual establishment rather than substituting a tax-remittance or private contract bond.

If the establishment cannot secure the required surety bond, each rule permits escrow of at least $5,000 or another Commission-approved amount. The rules require replenishment within ten business days after an expenditure unless operations have ceased, with prompt documentation to the Commission. Those are escrow provisions, not a fixed $5,000 surety-bond sum or a bond-claim deadline.

This provider option is a bond application. Arrange any permitted escrow separately with the Commission and keep its authorization and documentation requirements distinct. For colocated or multiple-license operations, have the actual covered licenses identified rather than assuming one issued document satisfies every establishment.
