An Act relative to host community impact fees

This bill modifies Massachusetts law to establish a standard fee for towns hosting marijuana businesses or medical treatment centers. If a community cannot precisely calculate the specific costs imposed by these facilities, the law requires them to charge a flat fee equal to one percent of the business's gross sales. This fee is intended to last for a maximum of eight years and applies to both recreational and medical marijuana operations. The change simplifies the financial process for municipalities by providing a clear calculation method when exact cost documentation is unavailable.
