The existing Nevada law limits the number of medical marijuana dispensaries and retail marijuana licenses that the Department of Taxation may issue in a specific county. For example, a Nevada county that has more than 700,000 residents may have up to 40 medical marijuana dispensaries and 80 retail marijuana stores. Existing law also prohibits a local government for approving the issuance of more than 25 percent of the medical marijuana licenses in a county unless the county increases the total number of licenses. The proposed legislation would allow an incorporated city of county to request additional medical or retail store licenses from the Department of Taxation. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F01%2F08%2F2019-1-8-nevada-bill-increases-number-of-available-retail-and-medical-marijuana-store-licenses](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F01%2F08%2F2019-1-8-nevada-bill-increases-number-of-available-retail-and-medical-marijuana-store-licenses) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
