Authorizes cannabis cultivation on land receiving farmland assessment; technical assistance for cannabis businesses; and economic incentives for certain businesses operating in impact zones.
This bill expands opportunities for cannabis businesses in New Jersey by allowing cultivation on land that qualifies for farmland tax assessment and providing technical assistance and economic incentives to businesses operating in designated impact zones. It modifies existing regulations to permit cannabis permit holders to operate multiple business types simultaneously after an 18-month transition period, while maintaining limits on the total number of active cultivator permits. The legislation also clarifies rules for alternative treatment centers, allowing them to operate as cultivators, manufacturers, and dispensaries under certain conditions. These changes aim to support economic development in specific areas and streamline operations for established cannabis businesses.
