This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 342.24, by adding a new subdivision that establishes restrictions on the locations of cannabis businesses. Specifically, it prohibits cannabis businesses from being situated within 1,000 feet of a youth athletic facility.
The bill defines a "youth athletic facility" as an indoor venue that is regularly used by minors for sports, competitive athletics, or physical exercise. This legislative change aims to ensure that cannabis businesses are not located in close proximity to areas frequented by children and adolescents, thereby promoting a safer environment for youth activities.
