South Dakota municipalities can now create new zoning rules for where medical cannabis businesses can operate, including the ability to keep them away from sensitive locations like schools, churches, daycare centers, and parks. Cities can also set minimum distances between cannabis establishments and establish reasonable setbacks from these protected areas. This gives local governments more control over medical cannabis operations within their jurisdictions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
