An act relating to requiring municipalities to hold a vote concerning the operation of cannabis establishments

This bill requires all Vermont municipalities that haven't previously voted on cannabis businesses to hold a vote at the 2026 general election. The vote will ask residents whether licensed cannabis retailers may operate within their community, using a secret ballot. Municipalities must hold this vote if they haven't already approved or rejected cannabis establishments. The measure does not change existing cannabis laws but mandates a community decision on local permitting by 2026.
