This bill allows cities and counties to ban medical cannabis businesses entirely from operating within their borders, reversing a previous state law that prohibited local governments from blocking dispensaries. Existing medical cannabis establishments operating before a local ban takes effect can continue operating until their registration certificates expire. The bill also clarifies that local governments can set rules about where, when, and how many cannabis businesses can operate in their area.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
