In reaching a decision on a disciplinary action under the Act and the Administrative Procedure Act (Govt. Code section 11400 et seq.), the Department shall consider the disciplinary guidelines entitled “Department of Cannabis Control Disciplinary Guidelines for All Commercial Cannabis Licenses Amended July 2022,” which are hereby incorporated by reference. Deviation from these guidelines and orders, including the standard terms of probation, is appropriate where the Department in its sole discretion determines that the facts of the particular case warrant such a deviation (e.g., the presence of mitigating factors, the age of the case, or evidentiary problems).
