June 1 Cannabis Law Webinar for Towns and Villages
Watertown, NY – Please join the Tug
Hill Commission on Tuesday, June 1 from Noon to 1 p.m. as Wade Beltramo of the New York Conference of Mayors and Sarah
Brancatella of the Association of Towns of the State
of New York present “The New Cannabis Law: Consideration for Towns
and Villages.” The Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act of 2021 created
a new section of NYS law, Cannabis. Several of its provisions affect town and
village governments, including licensing and taxation, and there are many questions
regarding what can be regulated locally and the timing and process for local
regulations.
Questions about what
this means for employers and their employees will also be addressed. There will
be an opportunity for questions and answers.
