The committee charged with drafting rules for Oregon's medical marijuana retail industry will meet Monday to discuss fees and whether local governments can restrict or ban dispensaries in their communities. The meeting, which is open to the public, begins at 9 a.m. in Hearing Room F of the Oregon State Capitol. The public may call 888-251-2909 to listen to the meeting. (Enter code: 539618#) The discussion also will be carried on a live video feed, which can be accessed at www.oregonlegislature

On the agenda: the opinion from Oregon Legislative Counsel, which concluded that regulating medical marijuana dispensaries is the job of the state, not local governments. The analysis, performed by the agency that advises lawmakers, comes as some cities, such as Medford and Tualatin, have effectively banned dispensaries. The committee also will review a third draft of the registry rules. According to the latest draft, facility owners would pay an initial application fee of $4,000; the annual fee to renew a facility's registration would be $4,000.
