In the years following the 2023 vote of the Delaware General Assembly to legalize recreational cannabis use and sales, it became clear that regulatory burdens were still impeding the industry’s ability to get off the ground to bring in revenue to the State. Senator Paradee introduced Senate Bill 75 to alleviate zoning restrictions in order to allow for more small businesses to open and operate, particularly in Sussex County.
The bill was vetoed by the Governor in 2025, but both the Senate and House successfully voted to override the veto.
