Local unit of government's cannabis business regulations provisions modifications

This bill modifies how Minnesota local governments can regulate cannabis businesses, preventing cities and counties from banning cannabis possession, use, or licensed businesses while allowing them to set reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. It establishes specific distance requirements prohibiting cannabis businesses within 1,000 feet of schools or 500 feet of day cares and other facilities regularly used by minors. The legislation also creates a new complaint process requiring the state cannabis office to respond to local government concerns within seven days and conduct inspections within 30 days, while maintaining local authority to enforce zoning and building codes. Additionally, the bill sets minimum registration limits for cannabis retailers based on population and allows counties to coordinate retail licensing with cities that have delegated authority.
