Two Fall River companies will have their applications to sell recreational marijuana reviewed under priority status.

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission agreed to prioritize the review of the applications from Cannatech Medicinals, 160 Hartwell St., and Hope, Heal, Health, 1 West St., along with 18 other applications at their meeting on Tuesday. An Attleboro applicant was the only other to receive priority status in Bristol County.

The 20 applicants approved Tuesday and any others approved for priority certification will be able to submit their marijuana license applications beginning April 17, though the CCC cannot issue licenses until June 1.

Priority certification — which will allow those entities approved to leapfrog towards the front of the line when the CCC begins issuing licenses — is open to registered marijuana dispensaries (RMDs) and those eligible through the CCC’s economic empowerment program, which is intended to assist people disproportionately affected by marijuana prohibition.
