Cannabis business licensing provisions modification
This bill modifies Minnesota's cannabis business licensing framework by adding a new "cannabis macrobusiness" license category to the existing system of microbusinesses, mezzobusinesses, and other specialized licenses. The legislation updates state statutes to formally recognize this new license type and adjusts definitions for terms like "cannabis business" and "license holder" to include macrobusinesses alongside existing categories. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of medical cannabinoid products to allow hemp-derived concentrates and removes potency limits for these products, while prohibiting unlicensed home extraction of cannabis concentrate using volatile solvents. These changes directly affect cannabis industry operators, regulators, and patients by creating a new business classification and modifying rules around medical product composition and manufacturing requirements.
