The Board shall, for each local governmental jurisdiction that limits the number of business licenses which may be issued to cannabis consumption lounges, determine the number of licenses allocated to the jurisdiction for retail cannabis consumption lounges and independent cannabis consumption lounges.
2. Not more than 50 percent of the licenses allocated by the Board pursuant to subsection 1 may be issued to retail cannabis consumption lounges.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, at least 50 percent of the licenses allocated to a local governmental jurisdiction pursuant to subsection 1 must be issued to independent cannabis consumption lounges.

If there are an insufficient number of social equity applicants to distribute licenses in that manner, the local governmental jurisdiction shall issue business licenses to all qualified social equity applicants and hold the remaining business licenses in reserve for future issuance to social equity applicants.
4. If the number of qualified applicants in a local governmental jurisdiction exceeds the number of licenses allocated to that jurisdiction pursuant to subsection 1, the Board shall issue adult-use cannabis establishment licenses for retail cannabis consumption lounges and independent cannabis consumption lounges in the local governmental jurisdiction to qualified applicants who are not social equity applicants using a separate lottery system for each type of license.
5. As used in this section, “local governmental jurisdiction” means a city or unincorporated area within a county.
