Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 4, § 15418 - Cannabis Goods Carried During Delivery

(a) A licensed retailer's delivery employee shall not carry cannabis goods in the delivery vehicle with a value in excess of $10,000 at any time.

(b) For the purposes of this section, the value of cannabis goods shall be determined using the current retail price of all cannabis goods carried by, or within the delivery vehicle of, the licensed retailer's delivery employee.

(c) A delivery employee may only carry cannabis goods, cannabis accessories, branded merchandise of any licensee, or promotional materials in the delivery vehicle and may only perform deliveries for one licensed retailer at a time. A delivery employee must depart and return to the same licensed premises before taking possession of any cannabis goods from another licensee to perform deliveries.

(d) Before leaving the licensed premises, the licensed retailer's delivery employee must have a delivery inventory ledger of all cannabis goods provided to the licensed retailer's delivery employee. The contents of the delivery inventory ledger must comply with the requirements of section 15049.3. During the delivery trip, as defined in section 15049.3, the delivery employee shall maintain the delivery inventory ledger in hard copy or electronically, the latter of which may be an electronic copy maintained in the track and trace system. The delivery inventory ledger must be updated after each completed delivery to reflect the remaining inventory carried by the delivery employee. The delivery inventory ledger must otherwise be updated in accordance with the requirements of section 15049.3, and then entered into the track and trace system no later than the end of the calendar day on which the delivery trip occurred.

(e) The licensed retailer's delivery employee shall maintain a log that includes all stops from the time the licensed retailer's delivery employee leaves the licensed premises to the time that the licensed retailer's delivery employee returns to the licensed premises, and the reason for each stop. The log shall be turned in to the licensed retailer when the licensed retailer's delivery employee returns to the licensed premises. The licensed retailer must maintain the log as a commercial cannabis activity record as required by this division. The log may be maintained electronically.

(f) Prior to arrival at any delivery location, the licensed retailer must have received a delivery request from the customer and provided the delivery request receipt to the licensed retailer's delivery employee electronically or in hard copy. The delivery request receipt provided to the licensed retailer's delivery employee shall contain all of the information required in section 15420, except for the date and time the delivery was made, and the signature of the customer.

(g) Immediately upon request by the Department or any law enforcement officer, the licensed retailer's delivery employee shall provide:

(1) The delivery inventory ledgers from the time the licensed retailer's delivery employee left the licensed premises up to the time of the request;

(2) All delivery request receipts for cannabis goods carried by the delivery employee, in the delivery vehicle, or any deliveries that have already been made to customers; and

(3) The log of all stops from the time the licensed retailer's delivery employee left the licensed premises up to the time of the request.

(h) If a licensed retailer's delivery employee does not have any delivery requests to be performed for a 30-minute period, the licensed retailer's delivery employee shall not make any additional deliveries and shall return to the licensed premises. Required meal breaks shall not count toward the 30-minute period.

(i) Upon returning to the licensed premises, all undelivered cannabis goods shall be returned to the licensed retailer's inventory and recorded within the track and trace system in accordance with section 15049.3.
