Binghamton did NOT opt out of retail dispensaries/consumption sites under MRTA; licensed retailers permitted subject to OCM rules and local zoning. Some Broome County towns (e.g., Maine, Kirkwood) opted out by Dec 31, 2021.
NY Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA, 2021) allows adult-use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption sites. Municipalities had until December 31, 2021 to opt OUT. Binghamton opted IN. Town of Maine, Kirkwood, Sanford, Windsor, and several other Broome County towns opted out. Opted-out towns may reverse (opt back in) but cannot re-opt-out. Dispensaries require a retail license from the NY Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) under 9 NYCRR Part 119. State law: 500 ft buffer from schools, 200 ft from houses of worship. Local zoning still applies within opted-in municipalities (site plan, use approval).
Unlicensed sales: NY OCM penalties up to $10,000/day plus NY Tax Law violations. Operating in opted-out town: cease-and-desist + OCM action.
