A new bill sponsored by Sen.
“„Municipalities, law enforcement and others are unsure what is and what is not permissible because of lack of clarity in the act, said bill co-sponsor John Proos, R-St. Joseph.
“„“Can a dispensary be located next to school? These are important determinations that state officials need to be able to make without fear of legal action that would cost the taxpayers even more money,” Proos said.
“„The bill, which also lists Antwerp Township state Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker as a co-sponsor, would amend the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act to provide protection to the state and municipalities.
“„It adds this line to the law: “Nothing in this act shall be construed to create a private cause of action against this state or a political subdivision of this state.”
