A 5291 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes timeline for municipal application review and requires municipalities to notify Cannabis Regulatory Commission when permitting cannabis businesses to operate in municipality.

This bill requires New Jersey municipalities with local cannabis business licensing requirements to review applications within 90 days. It also mandates that municipalities notify the Cannabis Regulatory Commission when enacting ordinances permitting or prohibiting specific cannabis business types (e.g., retail stores, distributors), including the business class and any numerical limits. The law applies to all municipalities regulating cannabis through local ordinances and ensures transparency in regulatory decisions. This standardizes application timelines and provides the Commission with timely information on local cannabis business approvals or restrictions.
