AI Generated Summary
Senate Bill SF No 795 proposed in Minnesota seeks to modify current regulations concerning medical cannabis usage. Specifically, it aims to ban the smoking or vaporizing of medical cannabis in multifamily living environments, such as apartment buildings, including any associated balconies and patios. This bill complements existing restrictions on where medical cannabis can be used, such as public transportation, schools, correctional facilities, and child care centers. The bill ensures that those nearby, particularly in shared housing complexes, are not exposed to cannabis smoke or vapor. Violations of the new rules would result in a civil administrative fine of $250.
