Code of Alabama
Article 4 - Cultivation, Processing, and Dispensing of Medical Cannabis.
Section 20-2A-67 - Integrated Facility Licensing.

(a) An integrated facility license authorizes all of the following:
(1) The cultivation of cannabis.
(2) The processing of cannabis into medical cannabis, including proper packaging and labeling of medical cannabis products.
(3) The dispensing and sale of medical cannabis only to a registered qualified patient or registered caregiver.
(4) The transport of cannabis or medical cannabis between its facilities.
(5) The sale or transfer of medical cannabis to a dispensary.
(b) The commission may issue no more than five integrated facility licenses.
(c) An integrated facility licensee shall have the same authorizations granted to, and shall comply with all requirements for, cultivators, processors, secure transporters, and dispensaries, in addition to any other authorizations or requirements under this section or as established by rule by the commission.
(d) An applicant for an integrated facility license shall provide all of the following:
(1) A letter of commitment or other acknowledgement, as determined by commission rule, of the applicant's ability to secure a performance bond issued by a surety insurance company approved by the commission in the amount of two million dollars ($2,000,000).
(2) Proof of at least two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in liquid assets.
(3) Proof that the applicant has the financial ability to maintain operations for not less than two years following the date of application.
(e) At the time a license is issued under this section, the commission shall ensure that the licensee has secured a performance bond as provided in subdivision (1) of subsection (d).
(f) A licensee may operate up to five dispensing sites, each of which must be located in a different county from any other dispensing site that the licensee operates; provided, however, the commission may authorize a licensee to operate a greater number of dispensing sites if, at least one year after the date when the maximum number of total dispensing sites authorized under this section and Section 20-2A-64 are operating, the commission determines that the patient pool has reached a sufficient level to justify an additional dispensing site in an underserved or unserved area of the state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a licensee may not operate any dispensing site in the unincorporated area of a county or in a municipality that has not adopted a resolution or ordinance authorizing the operation of dispensing sites under subsection (c) of Section 20-2A-51. This subsection shall not be construed to limit wholesale distribution from integrated facility licensees to dispensary licensees.
