Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21a-421u: License nonrenewal notice required. Prohibitions re lapsed license. Reinstatement of lapsed license.

(a) If a cannabis establishment elects not to renew its cannabis establishment license, the cannabis establishment shall submit a nonrenewal notice to the Department of Consumer Protection, in a form and manner prescribed by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, for the purpose of coordinating efforts to dispose of any cannabis that may be in the possession of such cannabis establishment upon expiration of such license. The cannabis establishment shall submit such nonrenewal notice to the department not more than thirty days prior to the expiration date of such license.

(b) No holder of a lapsed cannabis establishment license shall (1) engage in any activity for which an active cannabis establishment license is required, or (2) possess any cannabis on the premises of the lapsed cannabis establishment.

(c) (1) If the Department of Consumer Protection does not receive a complete license renewal application from a cannabis establishment on or before the expiration date of the cannabis establishment's license, the department may accept a license reinstatement application from the lapsed cannabis establishment during the ninety-day period following such expiration date. If the department accepts a reinstatement application during such ninety-day period, the applicant shall (A) pay to the department (i) the current year's license renewal fee, and (ii) a late fee equal to ten per cent of such license renewal fee, and (B) submit to the department, in a form and manner prescribed by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection, a statement signed by the applicant attesting that the applicant did not engage in any activity in this state for which an active cannabis establishment license is required while such applicant's license was lapsed.

(2) The department may, in the department's discretion, reinstate the lapsed cannabis establishment license for an applicant that has satisfied the requirements established in subdivision (1) of this subsection. If the reinstated cannabis establishment license was issued to a social equity applicant, the period during which such license was lapsed shall not be counted toward the time the applicant was licensed for the purposes of the ownership and control requirements established in sections 21a-420h, 21a-420j, 21a-420m and 21a-420u.
