Bill Summary

Relative to methadone clinic zoning. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill allows municipalities to adopt zoning ordinances to regulate the location of proposed methadone clinics. If no local requirements exist, the bill mandates that a methadone clinic cannot be sited within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, or any other facility where children commonly congregate, such as playgrounds or youth sports facilities. The bill also specifies that methadone clinics cannot use the provisions of the existing law to bypass local zoning requirements. The bill would take effect 90 days after passage.
