Bill overview
This bill prohibits cannabis retailers from being located near schools or places of worship. It amends existing regulations to restrict the placement of cannabis retail establishments, ensuring they are at least 200 feet away from these sensitive locations. The bill also includes a five-year grandfathering period for existing cannabis businesses that have already secured approvals for locations that would now be prohibited. Municipalities will be able to regulate the number of cannabis establishments, distributors, or delivery services, but cannot permit a retailer to operate within the specified distance of schools or places of worship.
