Amendment #58 to H3768

Licensed Property Location

Mr. Moran of Boston moves to amend the bill by striking out subsection (d) of Section 18 in lines 1034 to 1040, inclusive and inserting in place thereof the following subsection:- “(d) The commission shall not issue a cannabis license to an applicant if the property where the proposed cannabis establishment is to be located is within a radius of 500 feet measured in a straight line from the nearest point of the proposed cannabis establishment to the nearest point of a pre-existing public or private school providing education in kindergarten or any grades 1 through 12, a daycare center, or any facility in which children commonly congregate; provided, however, that if the city or town in which the cannabis establishment is to be located has adopted an ordinance or by-law that reduces such distance requirement, the commission shall not issue a license to an applicant if the proposed cannabis establishment would violate said city or town’s ordinance or by-law.”
