AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to allow for the sale of marijuana and marijuana products for consumption on the premises where sold. The key provisions are: 1) It gives cities and towns the option to allow the sale of marijuana and marijuana products for on-site consumption by putting the question to a local voter referendum. Alternatively, cities and towns can authorize on-site consumption through local ordinance or by-law without a voter referendum. 2) It adds a new definition for "Licensed marijuana social consumption establishment" to the existing law, and exempts such establishments from the law's general prohibition on smoking or vaping marijuana in public places. The bill aims to provide a legal framework for the establishment of social consumption sites where consumers can purchase and use marijuana and marijuana products on the premises.
