Bill overview
This bill creates legal grounds to pursue action against individuals who cause excessive marijuana smoke or odor that interferes with the enjoyment of neighboring properties. It establishes that such odor, even if the marijuana is legally possessed, can constitute a private nuisance if it substantially and unreasonably disturbs nearby residents. The bill also clarifies procedures for addressing nuisance complaints, requiring notification to local jurisdictions before pursuing legal action and outlining penalties for failing to comply with abatement orders. Furthermore, it extends the concept of public nuisance to include excessive marijuana smoke or odor, particularly when intentional or knowingly disruptive.
