SUMMARY PUBLICATION
Ordinance No. 2022-02
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A STUDY AND IMPOSING A
MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW USES OR THE EXPANSION OF
EXISTING USES RELATED TO THE SALE OF THC PRODUCTS
The Brooklyn Center City Council adopted the above-referenced interim ordinance establishing
a moratorium on the sale of cannabinoid products, as that term is now defined in state law. The
2022 Legislature adopted an amendment to Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 which permits the
retail sale of edible cannabinoid products as of July 1, 2022. The act authorizes the Minnesota
Board of Pharmacy to enforce the law but provides no guidance regarding regulation. Brooklyn
Center, like most cities, is unprepared to regulate the sale of these products. The interim
ordinance declares a moratorium on such sales and authorizes a study to determine if and how
the City wishes to regulate sales. Medical cannabis and hemp products which could be sold
legally before July 1, 2022, are exempt from the moratorium. The ordinance is in effect 30 days
from this publication. The full text of the ordinance is available on the City's website and can be
obtained by contacting City Hall.
Adopted this 22nd day of August, 2022.
