The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Aug. 9 to put a measure before voters this November that would impose a  business tax on cannabis businesses in unincorporated areas once they are allowed to open.

Currently, cannabis businesses are not permitted in unincorporated LA County; However, the Board of Supervisors passed a motion in February directing the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs’ Office of Cannabis Management to implement a cannabis licensing program in unincorporated areas, according to LACounty.gov.
