Prohibits vapor products dealer storefronts, cannabis retail licensee storefronts, and adult-use on-site cannabis consumption licenses within one mile of school grounds, houses of worship, parks, and playgrounds, and in mixed-use buildings in which there are one or more residences; requires the revocation of the certificate of occupancy of vapor products dealer storefronts, cannabis retail licensee storefronts, and premises with an adult-use on-site consumption license within one mile of school grounds, houses of worship, parks, and playgrounds, and in mixed-use buildings in which there are one or more residences, in accordance with a specified schedule.
What happened: A New York bill would prohibit cannabis retail storefronts and adult-use on-site consumption licenses within one mile of schools, houses of worship, parks, and playgrounds, or in mixed-use residential buildings, and would require revocation of certificates of occupancy for existing locations that fall within those zones; the bill has been referred to the Committee on Economic Development.
Why it matters: Existing and prospective cannabis retailers and on-site consumption venues could lose operating locations or be unable to open new ones if proximity restrictions and occupancy revocations are enacted.
