Bill > SF2165

This bill modifies Minnesota's medical cannabis combination business regulations by expanding the allowed plant canopy for cannabis cultivation from 60,000 to 90,000 square feet and establishing a process for businesses to request additional cultivation space. The bill allows medical cannabis combination businesses to perform a wide range of activities, including growing cannabis plants, manufacturing cannabis and hemp concentrates, making medical and adult-use cannabis products, and selling these products to various entities including other cannabis businesses and patients. It introduces new provisions that require businesses to provide a reliable, ongoing supply of medical cannabis and allows the state office to increase a business's cultivation area if they can demonstrate legitimate market need, compliance with licensing requirements, cultivation capabilities, and a history of following regulations. The bill also removes previous manufacturing size limitation rules and adds requirements for businesses to comply with additional sections of cannabis-related statutes. Notably, businesses are still limited to holding only one medical cannabis combination business license and are prohibited from owning or operating other cannabis or hemp businesses simultaneously. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for medical cannabis businesses while maintaining regulatory oversight.
