Hastings City Council opts out of recreational marijuana facilities in the city until May 30, 2020

The Hastings City  Council Monday unanimously approved four amendments to city ordinances that deal with opting out of allowing any marijuana establishments in the city with little to no discussion. Ordinances 567, 568, 569 and 570, are all to do with recreational marijuana and temporarily opting out of permitting marijuana facilities in the city.

 

The council had a first reading at its last meeting, and heard during discussion that the temporary opting out was necessary, at least for now, because the state agency setting up administrative rules would not have them ready until later this year or early next year. The opt out lasts until May, 30, 2020, unless the council extends it.

 

Michigan voters approved legalized recreational marijuana for use and possession of specified amounts for those over 21. Unlike medical marijuana facilities, municipalities must opt out of the recreational marijuana facilities.

 

All of the ordinances changes are to the Hastings Code of 1970.
