The commission said the new emergency regulations will go into effect as soon as Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen signs them. Commissioners will also hold a second hearing on the new rules.
They also voted to create a standalone website. Currently, information for the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission is listed on the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission’s website.
