A lot of employees change, movee their address, move out of of ty and that is an immensely diffict challenge for businesses to maid to comply. I dont see the reason to requis unless there is a reason, whicht been set forth in any of the dos ive read, why would the cannabs business or this new industry be burdened by this requirement onm the getgo they may not be ableo qualify. Were creating a business that t qualify or maintain the legalits existence by not being able to d employees. It is counter it does not sem logical to me and would like ths commission to inquire with the y attorney as to its enforceabili, enforceability of this provisio. And im completely surprised ths been maintained at this high le. Yes. I mean you can construct all kif easy. Mental arguments against this. Imagine a business with 12 empld six live in the city and six lif city. One of the six who lives in they
