BACKGROUND:
On July 15, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to amend the Clark County Code in relation to hemp retail stores to provide regulations for the industry to protect public health and safety.
The proposed ordinance was introduced at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on March 3, 2026, and a public hearing was set for March 17, 2026. At the meeting, the Board directed staff to amend the proposed ordinance to: (1) delete Subsection 7.220.310(f) in its entirety to remove product requirements relating to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; and (2) change the effective date to 120 days after passage and publication of the ordinance.
Staff recommends approval of the revised ordinance to amend Title 7 by adding a new chapter designated as Chapter 7.220.
