[Adopted 10-18-2021 by L.L. No. 4-2021]
It is the intent of this article to opt the Town of Monroe out
of hosting retail cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption
establishments within its boundaries.
This article is adopted pursuant to the provisions of Cannabis
Law § 131, which expressly authorizes cities and villages
to opt out of permitting retail cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site
cannabis consumption establishments to locate and operate within their
boundaries.
The Town Board hereby opts out of licensing and establishing
cannabis retail dispensaries and/or cannabis on-site consumption establishments
within its boundaries.
If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any clause,
sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article or the application
thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance is invalid
or unconstitutional, the court's order or judgment shall not
affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this article, but shall
be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision,
or part of this article or in its application to the person, individual,
firm or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in the controversy
in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
The Town's Code preparation contractor is authorized, without
further action of the Town Board, to correct typographical errors,
numbering and other related technical changes that do not affect or
alter the substantive provisions of this article.
This article shall be effective immediately upon filing with
the Secretary of State. Pursuant to Cannabis Law § 131,
this article is subject to a permissive referendum and thus may not
be filed with the Secretary of State until the applicable time period
has elapsed to file a petition or referendum has been conducted approving
this article.[1]
