New York A08741 sets minimum distances for licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries based on municipality population and provides for proximity.

New York A08741 amends the state's cannabis law to establish minimum distances for licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries. In municipalities with a population of 20,000 or more, dispensaries must be at least 1,000 feet apart. In smaller municipalities, the minimum distance is 2,000 feet. The bill also outlines a process for the cannabis control board to consider proximity protection waivers. This includes conducting a quantitative analysis of the dispensary's financial stability and profitability, issuing notices to stakeholders, and holding public hearings.
