AI Summary
This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to include the Office of Cannabis Management as an agency authorized to engage in government-to-government relationships with Tribal governments. Specifically, the bill adds the Office of Cannabis Management to the existing list of state agencies that can conduct official consultations with Minnesota's federally recognized Indian Tribes. The term "consultation" in this context refers to a proactive, interactive process where state agencies directly involve Tribal governments in policy development on matters that substantially affect Tribal interests. This means the Office of Cannabis Management will now be required to seek input from Tribal governments and meaningfully consider their perspectives when making decisions that could impact Tribal communities. The bill ensures that the Office of Cannabis Management follows the same consultation procedures as other state agencies, which include holding formal meetings with Tribal governing bodies and making good faith efforts to incorporate Tribal feedback into their decision-making processes.
