Ocean City officials have approved changes easing restrictions on cannabis event sponsorships and casino bus advertising. The decision removes a prior limitation that only allowed Maryland medical marijuana businesses to sponsor events, thereby broadening eligibility for cannabis-related sponsorships. Additionally, regulations governing casino bus advertisements were relaxed to permit advertising on all casino buses, regardless of where the buses are registered. These updates reflect an adaptation to changing local attitudes toward cannabis businesses and casino advertising, aiming to balance industry interests with community standards. The regulatory revisions were enacted recently and are designed to streamline local rules governing these commercial activities in Ocean City, Maryland.
