Bill > HF3559

This bill allows local governments in Minnesota to prohibit cannabis businesses from operating within 500 feet of certain sensitive locations, specifically adding congregate housing for children, congregate housing for transplant recipients, and hospitals to the list of places that already have this buffer zone, which previously included schools and daycares. This amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 342.13, expands the authority of local units of government, which are defined as cities, towns, or counties, to enact zoning regulations that restrict the proximity of cannabis businesses to these vulnerable populations and healthcare facilities, aiming to enhance public health and safety.
