Reference & Legal Library
The Reference Library brings together the rules that govern licensing, operations, inspections, zoning, taxes, accessibility, labor, and safety, all in one place.
Each page in the Reference Library explains:
What the rule says
Where it comes from
What operators must do to comply
MRTA (Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act)
The statute that defines New York cannabis licensing, operations, enforcement, and equity rules. This is the legal foundation for the entire cannabis system.
OCM Regulations
Official clarifications and policy documents issued by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) that reveal how rules are applied, interpreted, and enforced. This is where OCM explains how it expects retailers to comply, and how requirements are evaluated during inspections and renewals.
State & Local Law
Non-cannabis-specific laws that still control cannabis operations, including: Zoning and land use, Fire code and life safety, Department of Buildings permits, and Health code requirement.
These requirements often determine whether a site can open or remain operational.
NYCRR Regulations (Parts 118 through 129)
These rules govern operations, packaging and labeling, delivery, inspections, and compliance requirements. Inspectors rely on these sections during audits and enforcement actions.
Federal Law
Federal requirements that apply to cannabis businesses, including: IRS and federal tax rules, ADA accessibility, FinCEN banking, OSHA workplace safety standards, FDA rules affecting products and claims.
These obligations apply even when cannabis is legal under state law.
