Industrial Hemp: other; cross-references to industrial hemp research and development act within the industrial hemp growers act; amend. Amends secs. 103, 211, 303 & 307 of 2020 PA 220 (MCL 333.29103 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0599'25
SB 601 amends specific sections of Michigan's Industrial Hemp Growers Act (2020 PA 220) to update cross-references to the Industrial Hemp Research and Development Act. The bill directly affects hemp growers and businesses operating under these state regulations by modifying how the laws reference each other. Key mechanisms involve changing legal citations within sections 103, 211, 303, and 307 to ensure consistency between the two related hemp statutes. This is a procedural update to the existing legal framework, not a substantive change to hemp cultivation rules. (Note: The specific policy changes to the amended sections are not detailed in the provided context.)
