AI Summary

This bill, concerning cannabis regulation in Minnesota, proposes to increase the outdoor cultivation limit for cannabis microbusinesses, which are small businesses licensed to grow and sell cannabis. Specifically, it amends Minnesota Statutes section 342.28, subdivision 2, to allow these microbusinesses to cultivate up to one acre of mature, flowering cannabis plants outdoors, doubling the previous limit of one-half acre. The bill also clarifies that the state office responsible for cannabis regulation can adjust these limits to meet market demand, but cannot set the outdoor limit below one acre for new licenses. This change aims to support the growth and operation of smaller cannabis businesses within the state's regulated market.
