This bill amends RSA 126-X:7 to allow for the establishment of additional cultivation locations for alternative treatment centers. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that the department may authorize these centers to operate additional cultivation sites, which can include greenhouses. These operations will be subject to rules set by the department and must comply with local zoning laws. Furthermore, the department is required to collaborate with the local governing body to gather input from qualifying patients, designated caregivers, and residents regarding the proposed additional cultivation locations.

The bill does not include any deletions from the current law but introduces a new paragraph (XI) that outlines the conditions under which additional cultivation locations may be authorized. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a structured approach to expanding cultivation capabilities while ensuring community involvement and adherence to local regulations.
