Industrial Hemp: other; cross-references to industrial hemp research and development act within the medical marihuana facilities licensing act; amend. Amends title & secs. 102, 206, 502 & 505 of 2016 PA 281 (MCL 333.27102 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4964'25
HB 4965 amends the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to update cross-references between medical marijuana regulations and the Industrial Hemp Research and Development Act. It specifically revises sections 102, 206, 502, and 505 to ensure consistent terminology and legal alignment regarding industrial hemp. This affects medical marijuana licensees (growers, processors, and provisioning centers) who may also engage in industrial hemp activities under existing law. The bill does not change hemp or marijuana regulations but corrects outdated references to improve administrative clarity. It directly impacts how licensees comply with both medical marijuana and hemp-related provisions.
