Bill > HB5041

This bill amends the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act by updating terminology and making several technical changes. Specifically, the bill replaces instances of "marijuana" with "cannabis" throughout the law, adds a definition for "cannabis regulatory agency", and removes references to industrial hemp research. The bill modifies definitions in Section 102, updates rulemaking requirements for the cannabis regulatory agency in Section 206, adjusts processor license regulations in Section 502, and revises safety compliance facility requirements in Section 505. Key changes include removing previous provisions about industrial hemp, updating language around licensing and facility operations, and streamlining definitions. The bill also includes a tie bar provision, meaning it will only take effect if a companion bill is also enacted. The modifications appear to be primarily technical in nature, aimed at improving consistency and clarity in the existing medical marihuana regulatory framework, with a focus on modernizing terminology and removing outdated references.
