AI Summary
This bill amends Florida laws to regulate the location of medical marijuana treatment centers, retail vape shops, and businesses that allow on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages. Effective July 1, 2024, new medical marijuana treatment center facilities, retail vape shops, and locations for on-premises alcohol consumption cannot be within 1,500 feet of religious institutions, day care facilities, or educational institutions (elementary, middle, secondary, or postsecondary schools). However, this restriction does not apply to facilities or locations that were already operating before July 1, 2024. The bill also removes local governments' ability to approve certain locations that would otherwise violate the distance requirements.
