The Los Angeles City Council voted to ask the city attorney, with assistance from the Department of Cannabis Regulation, to present an ordinance amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code to extend the limited grandfathering period for existing medical marijuana dispensaries.

Council members discussed that the city attorney advised more-precise language was needed to reflect the intent of an earlier council action. The motion on the record directed the city attorney to prepare the ordinance language in the form dated Sept. 12, 2025, and to rescind the council's June 25, 2025, action on the same issue.

A roll call was requested and the transcript records Council Member Padilla and Council Member Herrado as voting yes on the motion. The motion was recorded as adopted; the transcript does not include additional named votes or further debate on the ordinance text.

The council did not specify a schedule for when the city attorney would return with ordinance language or for public hearings on the amendment. The clerk was asked to place the motion and the rescission into the record.
