AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Minnesota law regarding cannabis events by allowing authorized cannabis retailers to give away samples at cannabis sales events. Specifically, the bill removes a previous prohibition on giving away cannabis products and updates regulations for how samples can be handled. Authorized retailers (including cannabis microbusinesses, retailers, and hemp edible retailers) may now display one sample of each type of product they are selling, with strict limitations: samples cannot exceed eight grams of cannabis flower or concentrate, or edible products with more than 100 milligrams of THC. Retailers must still verify customer age, ensure samples are stored in labeled display cases, and follow existing rules about product storage, packaging, and tracking. The bill maintains other existing regulations, such as prohibiting sales to visibly intoxicated individuals or selling more than legally permitted quantities. This change provides cannabis retailers more flexibility in showcasing their products at events while maintaining important consumer safety and regulatory oversight.
