Bill > HB4963

This bill amends the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act to make several key changes to the state's cannabis regulatory framework. The bill updates definitions related to cannabis and cannabis businesses, clarifying terminology such as "cannabis regulatory agency" and various types of marijuana establishments. It introduces new requirements for marijuana licensees, including a mandate that licensees pay for marijuana at the time of transfer, prohibit the sale of tobacco, and restrict employment of individuals under 21 years old. The bill also modifies operational restrictions for marijuana establishments, such as ensuring secure storage, preventing visibility from public spaces, and packaging requirements. Additionally, the bill maintains provisions for the marijuana regulation fund, which allocates funds for regulatory implementation, veterans' medical research, and distributes revenues to municipalities, counties, the school aid fund, and the Michigan transportation fund. The changes aim to refine the state's marijuana regulatory system, improve business practices, and ensure proper oversight of marijuana-related businesses and transactions.
