Summary
The committee released A4937, which would permit medical cannabis dispensaries to operate up to two satellite locations (committee amendment) instead of a single site. Supporters registered in favor and no public opposition testified at the hearing.
A4937, a bill that would remove the statewide prohibition on medical cannabis dispensaries establishing satellite locations, was released as amended by the Assembly Oversight Reform and Federal Regulations Committee.
The committee clerk read that the committee amendments authorize a medical cannabis dispensary to operate up to two satellite locations instead of one. The amendments make the Assembly version identical to the Senate reprint, S3486.
Three proponents filed slips in favor and did not testify: Sarah Trent and Seth Tippen of Valley Wellness and Susan Nicholson of Holistic Solutions. Committee members moved and seconded the motion to release the bill and recorded votes by roll call; the chair announced the bill “released as amended.”
Committee members noted the bill aligns the Assembly and Senate language and expands operational flexibility for licensed dispensaries; no fiscal or opposition testimony was presented at the hearing.
