Bill > SB0602

This bill amends the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act to make several technical changes, primarily focusing on definitional updates and regulatory provisions. The bill modifies the definition of industrial hemp to include products with a THC concentration of 0.3% or less, and updates references to the Marijuana Regulatory Agency, which has been renamed to the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. It removes a specific provision related to industrial hemp regulation and adjusts language about THC definitions. The bill also maintains the agency's broad rulemaking powers, including the ability to set licensing procedures, safety standards, testing requirements, and advertising restrictions for marihuana establishments. A key provision is that the bill will only take effect if a companion Senate Bill (SB 599) is also enacted into law. The changes aim to provide more precise legal language and regulatory flexibility for marihuana-related businesses and activities in Michigan, while maintaining existing consumer protection and industry oversight mechanisms.
