This bill amends RSA 126-X:7 to allow operators of alternative treatment centers to establish an additional cultivation location, specifically a greenhouse. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that the department may authorize this additional cultivation site, which must adhere to rules set forth by the department and comply with local zoning laws. Furthermore, the department is required to engage with the local governing body and solicit input from qualifying patients, designated caregivers, and residents of the area regarding the proposed cultivation location.

The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law but introduces a new paragraph (XI) that outlines the conditions and processes for establishing these additional cultivation locations. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a structured approach to expanding cultivation capabilities for alternative treatment centers while ensuring community involvement and compliance with local regulations.
