Borough Council members are taking action to prohibit the operation of marijuana businesses in Tinton Falls while guidance from the state is pending.
On June 15, the council introduced an ordinance that will, if adopted, prohibit all marijuana businesses from operating in the borough.
The ordinance states that municipal officials intend to lift the prohibition when they receive regulatory guidance from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission that they deem adequate.
A public hearing on the ordinance has been scheduled for the council’s July 13 meeting. The governing body may adopt the ordinance that evening.
