CITY BEEFS UP BUSINESS LICENCE BYLAW

New rules aimed at clarity for marijuana dispensaries

Nelson city council hopes changes to its business licence bylaw will
help to chip away at the legal ambiguity around marijuana
dispensaries.

The bylaw, previously unaltered since 1990, will now require a
licensed business to be in compliance with local, provincial and
federal laws. Mayor Deb Kozak says this puts the city in a position to
better enforce the bylaw when the federal government comes out with
new legislation on marijuana in the near future. The bylaw passed
third reading and is still to be adopted at a future meeting. Its full
