Illegal cannabis and controlled substances tax repeal
SF 209 repeals Minnesota's tax on illegal cannabis and controlled substances by removing specific tax provisions from state law. It eliminates statutes including 13.4967, subdivision 5, and sections 297D.01 through 297D.13, which previously imposed taxes on these illegal products. This change directly affects businesses and individuals selling or possessing illegal cannabis and controlled substances, as the tax would no longer apply to those transactions. The repeal takes effect on August 1, 2025.
