GOP Gov. Noem Signs 3 Medical Marijuana Bills Into Law, One Placing ‘Guardrails’ On Former Prisoners
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) signed Senate Bill 219, sponsored by GOP Senator David Wheeler, which aims to change provisions related to controlling counties and municipalities over medical marijuana establishments within their jurisdictions.
“(It clarifies) Licensing for medical marijuana establishments, particularly just to clarify the fact that a medical marijuana establishment inside a town does not need a second license from the county,” said Wheeler, according to SDPB Radio.
“If the governing body of a municipality has enacted a numerical limit on the number of medical cannabis establishments in the municipality, and a greater number of applicants seek registration, the department shall solicit and consider input from the municipality as to its preference for registration,” the bill reads.
