AN ACT ESTABLISHING A CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST A PERSON FOR CREATING A NUISANCE DUE TO THE SMOKE FROM OR ODOR OF CANNABIS.
HB 6160 would allow property owners to sue someone whose cannabis smoke or odor interferes with their ability to use their property, such as a home or land. The bill creates a new legal cause of action under nuisance law specifically for cannabis-related smoke or smell, enabling affected residents to seek court remedies. Courts could order the person to stop the nuisance or award compensation for the interference. This change provides a direct legal remedy for neighbors disturbed by cannabis smoke or odor without altering existing cannabis regulations.
