But the commission at its meeting Tuesday evening did approve a new licensing platform to help it process applications when the time comes, and says that alone is a significant step toward launching the new industry.

Legislators baked clear deadlines into the legalization law — six months from law’s signing, a commission would need to have rules, and within another six months, it needs to pick a date for legal sales to begin — to avoid further delays in starting legal weed sales.

A commission source who was not authorized to speak publicly said officials would not meet the deadline or open applications within days.
