California Gov. Jerry Brown announced several appointments to the Cannabis Control Appeals Panel on Tuesday, filling crucial positions to help regulate the growing and complicated cannabis industry in the state, according to the governor’s office.
Brown appointed Sabrina D. Ashjian, 39, of Fresno, Diandra Bremond, 29, of Los Angeles, and Adrian Carpenter, 35, of Plumas Lake, to the appeals panel. The three choices will now go to the state Senate for confirmation.
The Cannabis Control Appeals Panel is responsible for appeals from any decision by cannabis licensing authorities involving penalty assessment and issuing, denying, transferring, conditioning, suspending or revoking any license provided under the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, otherwise known as Prop. 64, which voters passed in 2016.
