Council Bill 119178 makes amendments to our Seattle Municipal Code Section 6.5. We passed this by ordinance in 2015 and it related to regulating marijuana businesses to align with state laws and provide equitable enforcement and add clarity to what we were doing. Since the passage in 2015, several updates to our state law has occurred, including signage for marijuana, retail establishment, addressing no minors and their access requirements would be restricted and so on. So the technical amendments came before our committee last week were addressed and some of the. The whole goal is to bring it in alignment with the state law. So we clarified definitions including things such as premises that will streamline and regulate the authority and make clear where we've got marijuana businesses and making sure that the enforcement is equitable. And we had a few technical changes regarding the term of licensing, and we're recommending that this amendment to the underlying legislation passed, and it was a unanimous recommendation coming out of our committee.
