Summary

This Act provides that the Commissioner may not grant a conversion license or recreational license to a marijuana facility if the location of that facility is contrary to the law of a municipality under § 1351 of this title. Nor may the Commissioner issue such a license if a ordinance or regulation is under consideration in a municipality. This Act also clarifies that the Commissioner must hear complaints in regards to applications for retail licenses or conversion licenses to operate a marijuana retail facility in a neighborhood upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 10 residents of the same neighborhood. Section 2 of the Act allows the Commissioner to suspend a license issued prior to the passage of this Act to allow a licensee to come into compliance.
