Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary Licenses, known as the CAURD program, was created by the state to prioritize upcoming business owners with a cannabis conviction under former drug laws or people who have a family member with a previous conviction. The first cohort of provisional licenses is set to expire at the end of this month. “This extension addresses delays due to issues such as the Social Equity Fund, litigation & the recent change allowing CAURD provisional licensees to relocate,” the office of Cannabis Management wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

That injunction was lifted in December 2023. The office says provisional CAURD licensees must obtain their final CAURD license after meeting all requirements to prevent expiration.   [by Spectrum Local News](https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/politics/2024/11/12/n-y--cannabis-office-approves-extension-for-caurd-provisional-licenses) [Cannabis Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-business-news) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Cannabis Business News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-business-news) [![Nearly 70 More Adult-Use Cannabis Business Licenses Issued in New York, But Thousands Still Pending](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/new%20york%20cannabis%20licenses.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=new%20york%20cannabis%20licenses.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/nearly-70-more-adult-use-cannabis-business-licenses-issued-in-new-york-but-thousands-still-pending) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 12 December 2024 #### [Nearly 70 More Adult-Use Cannabis Business Licenses Issued in New York, But Thousands Still Pending](https://420intel.com/blog/nearly-70-more-adult-use-cannabis-business-licenses-issued-in-new-york-but-thousands-still-pending) New York regulators approved 68 adult-use cannabis licenses, butmore than 3,000 applications filed...
