This measure enacted a business tax on cannabis operations in Kern, California, with rates of up to $10 per square foot for cultivation, 8% of gross receipts for retail, 2.5% for testing labs, and 6% for other cannabis businesses. The tax would generate approximately $1.8 million annually for city services including police, fire, parks, and street repair, contingent on cannabis businesses being permitted in the city.
