state cpa societies shift into high gear.<\/strong> by liz gold voters across the united states showed their support for cannabis during the 2018 midterms, with three states approving new markets and more than a handful of new governors who support the industry.<\/p>\n in addition, democrats were able to take over the house of representatives, which tips the scales more in favor of easing some of the liabilities many cannabusinesses face.<\/p>\n more at cannabizcpa.pro<\/a><\/strong>: \u2018genius accountant\u2019 helps cannabiz clients manage effectively<\/a>\u00a0 | 5 cpa opportunities with cannabis clients<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0 squar milner takes on cannabis in california and beyond<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 bruce jolliff: jumping into cannabis head first<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0dope cfo levels up its offerings<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0marcum llp: moving forward in cannabis with confidence<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0mark guiley oversees new cannabis niche<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0cannabis trends: what cpas need to know for 2018 and beyond<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0tom achor: at the intersection of cannabis accounting and technology<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0jessica velazquez on cannabis accounting and activism<\/a> |\u00a0\u00a0podcast: rich wortmann pioneers cannabis in pennsylvania<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0podcast: john repetti and mitzi hollenbeck of citrin cooperman<\/a> |\u00a0podcast: jim marty and cory parnell go national<\/a><\/p>\n exclusively for pro members.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a02022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n four big measures were on the nov. 6 ballots.\u00a0here is a rundown:<\/p>\n \u201cwe are definitely excited with recreational marijuana gaining voter approval,\u201d said kareyna l. miller cpa, president of lc solutions in otter lake, michigan. \u201clegalization opens the doors for expanded opportunities for micro-business licensing, as well as furthering michigan’s already quickly expanding market for commercial businesses.\u00a0our commercial medical industry has only begun full licensing this past summer. our state cpa society has also been proactive in working with the state’s licensing and regulatory agency to ensure cpas are able to offer a valuable role in financial compliance for the industry and keeping its members well informed.\u00a0 the timing is right here in michigan for marijuana legalization, with a strong base of supporters, many longtime activists, and smart business and entrepreneurial focused approach.\u201d<\/p>\n another big result from the election took place in florida<\/strong>. voters passed amendment 4, restoring voting rights to those with non-violent felony convictions, upon the completion of their sentences, except for those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense<\/a>. this amendment gives back voting privileges to an estimated 1.5 million people. under florida law, first-time possession of marijuana in amounts greater than 20 grams (less than one ounce) is\u00a0classified<\/a>\u00a0under state law as a felony offense.<\/p>\n wisconsin<\/strong> voters in 16 counties around the state showed their strong support for marijuana legalization, voting in the affirmative on advisory questions<\/a> asking whether voters approve of various legalization and decriminalization policies. while the questions are non-binding (meaning they won\u2019t translate into policy), the idea is to gauge public sentiment on the issue, in an effort to inform future legislation, according to marijuana moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n and, last but not least, five out of six cities in ohio<\/a> voted to decriminalize marijuana \u2013 helping to protect cannabis consumers in those municipalities.<\/p>\n the midterm election also brought in a number of cannabis-friendly governors.<\/p>\n they include<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cin four states \u2014 connecticut, michigan, minnesota, illinois \u2014 voters elected governors who openly campaigned on a platform that included legalizing adult marijuana use,\u201d said paul armentano, norml\u2019s deputy director, on the organization\u2019s blog. \u201cin two other states \u2014 california and colorado \u2014 voters elected governors who have a long history of spearheading legalization reform efforts. and in maine and in new mexico, two of the nation\u2019s most rabid marijuana prohibitionists, paul lepage and susana martinez, have been replaced by governors who are open to enacting common-sense cannabis reforms. in 2019, we anticipate unprecedented legislative activity at the state level in favor of marijuana law reform legislation, and we expect to see several significant legislative victories before the year\u2019s end.\u201d<\/p>\n
