HF 4395 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cannabis event provisions modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's cannabis event licensing requirements by simplifying the application process and reducing certain fees for event organizers. It directly affects businesses that organize temporary cannabis events, such as festivals and pop-up shops, by removing the need to submit detailed event-specific information like venue addresses, event names, and physical layout diagrams. The legislation also adjusts fee structures, eliminating the initial license fee for cannabis event organizers while maintaining a $750 application fee and a $750 renewal fee. Additionally, the bill requires organizers to submit standard operating procedures and describe their event planning processes, shifting focus from specific event details to general business compliance. These changes aim to streamline administrative requirements while maintaining oversight of cannabis event operations.
