Streatery Program Endorsement Extension and Medical Cannabis Clarification Emergency Amendment of 2025

This bill extends the Streatery Program (which allows restaurants to use sidewalks for outdoor seating) through December 31, 2025, for licensees who need endorsements. It updates fee deadlines: most must pay by April 1, 2025, while specific cannabis-related licensees (e.g., retailers, manufacturers) have a later deadline of September 30, 2025. It also clarifies medical cannabis location rules, permitting existing applicants to operate within 300 feet of schools or recreation centers (instead of 400 feet), with exceptions for commercial/industrial zones. The bill is an emergency measure effective immediately, lasting 90 days.
