### Streamline Public Input on Cannabis Social Equity Programs

Gathering meaningful public comment on cannabis licensing regulations requires a structured, accessible approach that captures diverse community perspectives. This **Social Equity Cannabis Licensing Public Comment Form** template helps government agencies, cannabis regulatory boards, and municipal planning departments collect detailed feedback on proposed social equity programs, ownership diversity requirements, community reinvestment initiatives, and expungement linkage provisions.

#### Built for Cannabis Policy Development

As jurisdictions across the country establish and refine cannabis licensing frameworks, ensuring equitable access for communities disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs has become a critical policy priority. This template is designed specifically for:

 - **Cannabis regulatory agencies** managing public hearing processes
 - **Municipal planning departments** evaluating zoning for dispensaries and cultivation facilities
 - **Social equity program administrators** gathering stakeholder input
 - **Community organizations** facilitating constituent feedback

The form captures structured commentary on key program components including ownership requirements, residency criteria, technical assistance provisions, fee waivers, community reinvestment commitments, and linkage to criminal record expungement—allowing policymakers to identify consensus, concerns, and suggested improvements.

#### Comprehensive Feedback Collection

Rather than sorting through unstructured email comments or handwritten testimony, this template organizes feedback into clear categories covering all major aspects of social equity cannabis licensing. Respondents can comment on specific program elements, propose modifications, share personal experiences with cannabis criminalization, and identify potential barriers to program participation.

With **Paperform's conditional logic**, the form adapts to show relevant follow-up questions based on respondent type (individual, business, community organization, etc.) and areas of concern, ensuring you collect detailed, actionable feedback without overwhelming participants.

#### Integration with Civic Engagement Workflows

Connect this form to your existing public engagement infrastructure using Paperform's native integrations or **Stepper** workflows. Automatically route comments to staff reviewers, populate public comment databases, send acknowledgment emails to participants, and generate summary reports for public hearings—all without manual data entry.

For agencies managing multiple concurrent comment periods, Paperform's Agency+ plan makes it simple to deploy customized versions of this template for different regulations, jurisdictions, or program components while maintaining consistent branding and centralized oversight.

Built with accessibility and transparency in mind, this template helps ensure your cannabis social equity program development process is inclusive, responsive, and grounded in community input.
