Bulletin No. 2 | An Act Modernizing the Commonwealth’s Cannabis Laws | April 19, 2026

The Governor has signed H.5350: An Act Modernizing the Commonwealth’s Cannabis Laws (Act). This bulletin provides guidance to municipalities regarding the Act’s provisions on limited delivery of marijuana and marijuana products.

Delivery Allowed Statewide

Section 25 of the Act authorizes the Cannabis Control Commission (Commission) to issue licenses that allow limited delivery of marijuana or marijuana products to consumers.¹ Under the statute:

• Limited delivery is permitted in every municipality in the Commonwealth.
• However, a municipality that does not authorize retail Marijuana Establishment licenses within its borders may request a waiver from the Commission.
• Upon initial request, the Commission must grant the waiver, and the municipality may temporarily prohibit delivery within its jurisdiction.
• The waiver is valid for up to two years and may be extended in two-year increments at the Commission’s discretion.

Action for Municipalities

Municipalities that wish to opt out of limited delivery should:

1. Confirm that the municipality does not authorize retail Marijuana Establishments;
2. Prepare and submit a two-year waiver request to the Commission from the chief municipal executive; and
3. Track the two-year waiver period and request extensions as needed.

The Commission will issue further guidance on application procedures, timelines, and implementation as its regulatory updates under the Act proceed. If a delivery licensee is uncertain whether a municipality permits delivery, the licensee should contact the municipality directly for clarification before engaging with consumers located within that jurisdiction.
