Bill > HB5441

This bill amends the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to make several significant changes to medical marijuana licensing in Michigan. Beginning January 1, 2026, the Cannabis Regulatory Agency will be prohibited from issuing new state operating licenses for most types of medical marijuana facilities, with exceptions for provisioning centers, class A growers, license renewals, and license transfers. The bill also introduces a cap on provisioning center licenses, limiting municipalities to one provisioning center per 5,000 residents. The legislation renames the "Marijuana Regulatory Agency" to the "Cannabis Regulatory Agency" throughout the existing law and makes technical updates to various definitions and regulatory provisions. The bill maintains existing licensing requirements, such as background checks and application processes, while creating new restrictions on future licensing. Importantly, the bill will only take effect if three related bills are also enacted into law, creating a legislative package that aims to reshape medical marijuana facility regulations in Michigan. The changes appear designed to control the number and distribution of medical marijuana facilities while maintaining existing operations.
