Bill > HB4967

This bill amends the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act by making several technical changes to definitions and regulatory authorities. The bill updates definitions related to industrial hemp, clarifying that it includes cannabis plants or products with a THC concentration of 0.3% or less, and makes changes to how the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (formerly the Marijuana Regulatory Agency) can regulate THC. The bill modifies the agency's rulemaking powers, specifically removing a provision about regulating industrial hemp cultivation and processing, and adjusting language about how the agency can exclude certain tetrahydrocannabinols from its definition of THC. The changes appear to be primarily technical in nature, refining the legal language around cannabis regulation and providing more precise definitions for terms like industrial hemp and THC. Importantly, the bill will only take effect if a companion House Bill (HB 4964) is also enacted into law, creating a legislative tie bar that ensures both pieces of legislation are implemented together. The amendments aim to provide more clarity and precision in the state's cannabis regulatory framework, particularly around industrial hemp and THC classification.
