New York S09155 amends the cannabis law to change the rules for locating retail adult-use dispensaries near schools and houses of worship. The bill repeals certain provisions and adds new ones to redefine how proximity is measured. It specifies that measurements are to be taken from the nearest entrance of the dispensary to the nearest entrance of the school or house of worship. The bill also clarifies that certain uses of a house of worship do not disqualify it from being considered exclusively occupied as such.
