SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ A lawsuit was filed by Garner & Associates LLP today in the Sacramento County Superior Court on behalf of cannabis related businesses to challenge the City of Sacramento s Neighborhood Responsibility Plan. The plaintiff, who is representative of an array of cannabis related businesses across Sacramento, has alleged the City exceeded its regulatory authority by imposing an illegal fee equal to 1% of Gross Revenue fee on cannabis businesses and masqueraded this fee as a Neighborhood Responsibility Plan purportedly needed to mitigate alleged negative impacts from novel business activities. Plaintiff alleges the fee has little or no relationship to neighborhood responsibility, and no relationship to environmental, public health or land use goals.
