Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 4, § 15049.3 - Track and Trace Requirements for Delivery

(a) A licensed retailer conducting delivery of cannabis goods shall create a delivery inventory ledger in the track and trace system and record the information required under subsections (b)(1) through (7) prior to the delivery employee leaving the licensed retail premises for each delivery trip. A delivery trip begins when the delivery employee leaves the licensed retail premises to conduct delivery of cannabis goods.

(b) The delivery inventory ledger shall include the following information:

(1) The delivery inventory ledger number generated by the track and trace system and assigned to the specific delivery trip.

(2) The name and license number of the licensed retailer.

(3) The delivery employee's name, employee ID, and driver's license number.

(4) The delivery vehicle's make, model, and license plate number.

(5) The item name and category of each cannabis good to be carried on the delivery trip, the UID(s) assigned to those cannabis goods, and the number of units associated with each UID on the delivery inventory ledger.

(6) The UID(s) of any cannabis goods ordered by customers and processed by the licensed retailer prior to the delivery employee leaving the licensed retail premises.

(7) The date and time the delivery employee begins the delivery trip.

(c) For each delivery of cannabis goods, the following information shall be recorded within the track and trace system by the end of the calendar day on which the delivery was completed:

(1) The date and time the delivery was completed. A delivery is completed at the time the cannabis goods are physically provided to the customer.

(2) Whether the customer is an adult-use customer, medicinal cannabis patient, or patient's primary caregiver.

(3) The UID and quantity of each cannabis good delivered.

(4) The purchase price of each cannabis good delivered.

(5) The city, county, and zip code in which the delivery was completed.

(d) If a delivery employee returns to the licensed retail premises to obtain additional inventory of cannabis goods for delivery to be conducted on the same day and by the same delivery employee, the licensed retailer may continue the existing delivery trip in the track and trace system. If the licensed retailer chooses to continue the existing delivery trip, the additional inventory is considered part of the existing delivery trip and a new delivery inventory ledger is not required. The licensed retailer shall record the following information within the track and trace system under the existing delivery inventory ledger number for any additional cannabis goods to be carried on the same delivery trip:

(1) The item name and category of each additional cannabis good to be carried on the delivery trip, the UID(s) assigned to those cannabis goods, and the number of units associated with each UID on the delivery inventory ledger.

(2) The date and time the delivery employee leaves the licensed retail premises to continue the delivery trip.

(e)

(1) The end date and time of the delivery trip shall be:

(A) Except as provided in subsection (e)(1)(B), the date and time the delivery employee returned to the licensed retail premises after conducting all deliveries that are part of the same delivery trip.

(B) If the delivery employee does not carry any unsold cannabis goods and does not return to the licensed retail premises on the same day after delivering all cannabis goods carried in the vehicle on the delivery trip, the date and time at which the delivery employee completed the last delivery of cannabis goods on the delivery trip.

(2) No later than the end of the calendar day on which the delivery trip occurred:

(A) If a delivery employee still carries unsold cannabis goods at the end of a delivery trip, the delivery employee must return to the licensed premises, remove the unsold cannabis goods from the delivery inventory ledger, and return the unsold cannabis goods to the licensed retailer's inventory within the track and trace system.

(B) The licensed retailer shall record the end date and time of the delivery trip in the track and trace system.

(f) Notwithstanding subsections (a) through (e), prior to April 1, 2023, licensed retailers may comply with this section by maintaining delivery inventory ledgers in accordance with this subsection.

(1) Delivery inventory ledgers may be maintained by licensed retailers in hard copy or electronically and shall include the item name, category, UID, and unit quantity of each cannabis good carried on a delivery trip.

(2) All cannabis goods prepared for an order that was received and processed by the licensed retailer prior to the delivery employee's departure from the licensed retail premises must be clearly identified on the delivery inventory ledger.

(3) During a delivery trip, the delivery inventory ledger must be updated after each completed delivery to reflect the remaining inventory carried by the delivery employee.

(4) All sales of cannabis goods conducted by delivery must be entered into the track and trace system within 24 hours of the date and time the delivery trip was completed, as defined in subsection (e)(1).
