Summary

The bill lets local governments permit licensed cannabis stores to sell to customers in cars using a drive‑through, pass‑out window, or slide‑out tray, provided a fixed security window and drawer are used. It does not apply to businesses that only deliver or that have no public storefront, and it exempts existing drive‑through operators from the new security‑window rule. This expands sales options while aiming to keep transactions secure.
