Medical marijuana dispensary owners in Chicago would be spared the requirement of hiring security guards to be on-site around the clock in a move aldermen framed as a way to help drive down costs.
The City Council Finance Committee approved the amendment Wednesday, paving the way for the full council to vote next month on the plan to require guards at the dispensaries only when they're open for business.
Sponsor Ald. Edward Burke, 14th, said since the dispensaries opened last year, they haven't made as much money as some thought they would.
"The industry has, as you might expect, not been as successful as was originally anticipated," Burke said. "And this would hopefully reduce some of the burden on the operators without interfering with what our intent originally was, and that was to make sure there's security on premises during the time they're operating."
