Medical cannabis and cannabis provisions modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's medical cannabis laws by requiring the state to register exactly two in-state manufacturers for medical cannabis production, with strict criteria for selection including security, financial stability, and patient fee projections. It updates definitions to include nurse practitioners and physician assistants as authorized healthcare providers, clarifies patient registry processes, and prohibits registry enrollment for patients in federally approved cannabis clinical trials. These changes directly affect patients with qualifying medical conditions, healthcare providers, and cannabis manufacturers operating in Minnesota. The bill also repeals outdated provisions and adds new requirements for manufacturer registration and patient verification.
