Bill > H0634

This bill amends existing Vermont laws to redefine "prohibited place" for cannabis consumption to align with places where tobacco use is already banned, meaning individuals cannot consume cannabis, including by inhalation of vapor, or possess lighted cannabis products in any location where smoking or using lighted tobacco products is prohibited by law. This change aims to simplify and standardize regulations around cannabis consumption by linking it directly to existing tobacco restrictions, and it also grants municipalities the power to regulate or prohibit the possession of lighted cannabis products and the consumption of cannabis or cannabis products in public places, with the new provisions taking effect on July 1, 2026.
