The purpose of this chapter is to regulate recreational marihuana establishments, which includes marihuana growers, marihuana safety compliance facilities, marihuana processors, marihuana retailers, marihuana secure transporters, or any other type of recreational marihuana-related business licensed by the State of Michigan pursuant to the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, Initiated Law 1 of 2018, M.C.L.A. 333.27951 et seq. (“the Act”). The village finds that these activities are significantly connected to the public health, safety, security, and welfare of its citizens and it is therefore necessary to regulate and enforce safety, security, fire, policing, health, and sanitation practices related to such activities and to provide a method to defray administrative costs incurred by such regulation and enforcement. It is not the intent of this chapter to diminish, abrogate, or restrict the protections for recreational marihuana use found in the Act.
