	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1300, Blumenfield. Medical marijuana.
   Existing law establishes the Medical Marijuana Program to exempt
certain qualified patients who hold an identification card issued
pursuant to the program, and the caregivers of those persons from
certain state criminal sanctions related to the possession,
cultivation, transportation, processing, or use of limited amounts of
marijuana, as specified. The program prohibits certain entities,
including a medical marijuana cooperative or collective, from being
located within a 600-foot radius of a school. Existing law also
specifically provides that these provisions governing the program do
not prevent a city or other local governing body from adopting and
enforcing laws consistent with the program.
   This bill would revise the latter provision described above to
additionally provide that these provisions shall not prevent a city
or other local governing body from adopting and enforcing local
ordinances that regulate the location, operation, or establishment of
a medical marijuana cooperative or collective, or from the civil or
criminal enforcement of those local ordinances.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11362.83 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:
   11362.83.  Nothing in this article shall prevent a city or other
local governing body from adopting and enforcing any of the
following:
   (a) Adopting local ordinances that regulate the location,
operation, or establishment of a medical marijuana cooperative or
collective.
   (b) The civil and criminal enforcement of local ordinances
described in subdivision (a).
   (c) Enacting other laws consistent with this article.
