Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the cannabis law, in relation to notice to elected officials upon receipt of certain applications
AI Summary
This bill requires the New York Cannabis Control Board to notify state assembly and senate members within 30 days of receiving a completed application for an adult-use cannabis retail dispensary or on-site consumption license in their legislative district. Specifically, the board must send written notice to the representatives whose districts include the proposed cannabis business location. This notification requirement is being added as a new provision to Section 61 of the cannabis law, and the bill stipulates that the notice requirement will apply to both new applications and any completed applications pending at the time the law takes effect. The purpose appears to be to ensure local elected officials are informed about potential new cannabis businesses in their districts, providing them with timely awareness of such developments in their communities.
