ORDINANCE NO. 121
CITY OF NEW GERMANY,
COUNTY OF CARVER,
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE SALE, TESTING, MANUFACTURING, CULTIVATING, GROWING, TRANSPORTING, DELIVERY, AND DISTRIBUTION OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS IN THE CITY OF NEW GERMANY

The City Council of the City of New Germany does ordain:
SECTION 1. BACKGROUND.
A. By enacting 2022 Session Law Chapter 98, Article 13, the Minnesota Legislature amended Minn. Stat. §151.72 and permitted the sale of edible and nonedible cannabinoid products that contain no more than 0.3% of Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC (“THC Products”).
B. The 2023 Legislature has voted to expand both the legalization of types of THC and cannabis products and also the types of THC and cannabis businesses permitted. The House passed HFl00, and the Senate passed a similar companion bill, SF73. The Governor signed the resulting bill on May 30, 2023.
C. The session law established a regulatory framework for adult-use cannabis, as well as the lower potency hemp edibles; moved the medical cannabis program under a newly created state agency called the Office of Cannabis Management; established taxes on regulated products; created grants to assist individuals entering into the legal cannabis market; amended criminal penalties; provided for expungement and resentencing of certain convictions; provided for temporary regulation of hemp-derived edible cannabinoid products; rescheduled marijuana; and appropriated money.
D. The state licensing agency provisions became effective July 1, 2023, and the agency may establish a model ordinance for cities, which the City of New Germany would benefit from reviewing and analyzing before making any decisions related to cannabis businesses and products in the City.
E. The session law specified what distance restrictions cities can put in place under their zoning power. The City would benefit from having time to study and analyze acceptable time, place, and manner restrictions that would be feasible for the City of New Germany.
F. Pursuant to Minn.
