Yankton Establishes Policy Surrounding Medical Marijuana Usage

The Yankton City Commission took quick action Monday night in establishing guidelines in regards to medical marijuana usage by city employees.

With medical marijuana being officially legal later this week, the city commission needed to review their employee personnel manual establishing ground rules to address medical marijuana usage.

City Manager Amy Leon says the policy varies amongst departments across the city…

Leon adds that if employees in certain departments produce their medical marijuana ID card, they would not face disciplinary action.

The commission also established medical marijuana establishment licensing fees at their meeting Monday.
