Bill > HB4965

This bill amends the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to update terminology and make several technical changes across multiple sections of the law. Specifically, the bill replaces references to "marijuana" with "cannabis" throughout the legislation, adds a definition for "cannabis regulatory agency", and removes several references to industrial hemp and the industrial hemp research and development act. The bill modifies definitions in Section 102, updates rulemaking requirements for the cannabis regulatory agency in Section 206, adjusts processor licensing regulations in Section 502, and updates safety compliance facility requirements in Section 505. Notable changes include removing previous language about industrial hemp sales and testing, and updating licensing restrictions and operational requirements for cannabis facilities. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation (House Bill 4964) and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law. These amendments appear to be part of an ongoing effort to streamline and modernize Michigan's medical cannabis regulatory framework by updating terminology and refining operational guidelines for cannabis-related businesses.
