AI Summary

  • Effective July 1, 2024, new medical marijuana treatment center cultivating, processing, and dispensing facilities must be located at least 1,500 feet from religious institutions, day care facilities, elementary through postsecondary schools — tripling the prior 500-foot minimum that applied only to K-12 schools.
  • New retail vape shops opening on or after July 1, 2024, may not be located within 1,500 feet of religious institutions, day care facilities, or any school from elementary through postsecondary level.
  • New on-premises alcohol consumption locations opening on or after July 1, 2024, must maintain at least 1,500 feet of distance from religious institutions, day care facilities, and elementary through postsecondary schools, up from the previous 500-foot requirement limited to K-12 schools.
  • All three distance restrictions are grandfathered for facilities already operating before July 1, 2024.
  • Removes the ability of counties and municipalities to approve exceptions to the distance requirements for medical marijuana dispensaries and on-premises alcohol locations through public proceedings.
