A 9282 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to prohibiting the location of cannabis retail locations within two hundred feet of an addiction treatment center

This bill prohibits cannabis retail stores and on-site consumption licenses from being located within 200 feet of an "addiction treatment center" as defined by the law. An addiction treatment center is specifically defined as a licensed or certified facility providing clinical treatment for substance use disorders, mental illness, or chemical dependence (excluding peer support groups or non-clinical gatherings). The law applies to all cannabis retail licensees and applicants, requiring them to avoid locations near these treatment centers, similar to existing 500-foot buffers around schools. This policy directly affects cannabis businesses seeking new locations or licenses within the specified proximity.
