California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 10 — CannabisChapter 3 — EnforcementSection 26034
All accusations against licensees shall be filed by the department within five years after the performance of the act or omission alleged as the ground for disciplinary action; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not constitute a defense to an accusation alleging fraud or misrepresentation as a ground for disciplinary action. The cause for disciplinary action in that case shall not be deemed to have accrued until discovery, by the department, of the facts constituting the fraud or misrepresentation, and, in that case, the accusation shall be filed within five years after that discovery.
Notes
Sets a five-year deadline for the department to file disciplinary accusations after the alleged act or omission. Fraud or misrepresentation accusations are not barred by that ordinary period; for those grounds, accrual occurs upon the department’s discovery of the facts, and filing is due within five years after discovery.
