[Adopted 7-12-2021 by L.L. No. 1-2021]
The purpose of this article is to provide for the health, safety,
and general welfare of persons and property in the Town of Cornwall
by opting out of the provisions of the State Cannabis Law which legalize
retail sale of cannabis and establishments for on-site consumption
of cannabis.
This article shall be known as "Cannabis Regulation."
As is permitted by the State Cannabis Law (Chapter 7-A of the
Consolidated Laws of the State of New York), the Town of Cornwall
hereby requests the State Cannabis Control Board to prohibit licenses
for cannabis retail dispensaries and licenses for on-site consumption
of cannabis within the unincorporated portion of the Town of Cornwall.
Each day that a violation of this chapter continues shall constitute
a separate violation and shall subject the offender to a separate
and additional criminal charge and/or civil penalty.
