HB 1897 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to licenses for marijuana facilities

HB 1897 requires Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services to issue licenses to any applicant meeting minimum standards for marijuana cultivation, dispensary, or infused products facilities. It removes existing regulatory limits on the number of licenses while allowing denial if an applicant would exceed the 10% ownership cap for certain licenses under Missouri's constitution. The bill directly affects applicants seeking these licenses and the licensing department, mandating approval unless constitutional ownership limits are violated. It makes no changes to the constitutional requirements themselves but modifies how the department processes applications.
