Aurora participates in Colorado social equity marijuana licensing under HB20-1424 and SB21-111, offering reduced fees and accelerator programs for applicants from communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition.
Aurora aligns with Colorado HB20-1424, which created the Social Equity Licensee category through the Marijuana Enforcement Division. Eligible applicants must meet at least one criterion, including residency in a designated disproportionately impacted area, prior cannabis arrest of self or family member, or household income below threshold. Aurora offers reduced application fees, technical assistance, and priority review. The Accelerator Program pairs equity licensees with established operators for mentorship and infrastructure access. Aurora also recognizes equity status for cultivation, manufacturing, and retail licenses under Title 13. Renewal requires continued equity verification.
Misrepresenting equity status results in license denial or revocation. Applicants found to have used straw owners face permanent disqualification under state and Aurora rules.
