Bill Summary

Relative to local control of marijuana dispensaries. Marijuana Policy.

AI Summary

This bill amends a previous law to give cities and towns more local control over the operation of marijuana establishments. Specifically, it allows cities and towns that have approved the operation of a medical marijuana treatment center to adopt an ordinance or bylaw prohibiting retail marijuana establishments and/or the sale of marijuana to anyone not certified as a patient or caregiver in that city or town. This provides municipalities with the ability to regulate the sale and distribution of both recreational and medical marijuana within their jurisdictions.
