Bill Summary
An Act to Amend the Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Act
AI Summary
This bill amends the Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Act by expanding the ways a registered caregiver can sell, offer to sell, furnish, or transport cannabis plants or harvested cannabis, allowing these activities on property owned or rented by the caregiver, at industry events, or through delivery to patients as long as it occurs on private property or public property not designated as a safe zone. It also clarifies reporting requirements for sales tax revenue related to medical cannabis, specifying the inclusion of gross sales figures in addition to sales tax revenue. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Office of Cannabis Policy develop rules for a medical cannabis research grant program by January 9, 2026, and ensure that all registration and renewal forms are readily available online in a universally accessible format and in paper form at the office.
