Marijuana Key Points

Taxation

Currently, municipal governments will receive a general sales tax on marijuana similar to other goods bought and sold in your municipal boundaries.

Zoning & Land Use

  • SB1030 allows municipal governments to follow their standard planning and zoning processes.

  • LINK TO SB1030

  • NOTE: Municipal governments may not ban retail establishments from municipal limits.

Employment

  • SQ 788 prohibits employers from discriminating against an employee for holding a marijuana license.  However, action may be taken against these employees if:

    • The holder of the license uses marijuana in his or her place of employment or during hours of employment. 

    • Unless a failure to do so would cause an employer the potential to lose a monetary or licensing-related benefit under federal law or regulations.

  • Action may not be taken against a marijuana license holder due to results of a drug test showing positive for marijuana or its components.  HOWEVER, there are possible actions if the employee is employed in a position classified as safety sensitive under state law. Work with your municipal attorney on this aspect of law.
