Technical changes made to cannabis business licensing provisions.
This bill makes technical adjustments to Minnesota's cannabis business licensing laws to clarify how licenses are issued, transferred, and regulated. It primarily affects cannabis retailers, manufacturers, and other licensed cannabis businesses by updating rules on license transfers, particularly for social equity licenses which have specific transfer restrictions for three years. The legislation also modifies the regulatory powers of the state cannabis office, including authority to set potency limits, conduct inspections, and issue health warnings for cannabis products. Additionally, the bill repeals certain outdated provisions related to cannabis regulation while establishing temporary powers for the cannabis office until January 1, 2027.
