LC 207 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise marijuana laws

This bill revises Montana's marijuana laws by updating definitions for key terms like "retail price," "controlling beneficial owner," and "employee" to improve clarity and consistency across the state's cannabis regulations. The legislation clarifies how marijuana businesses must report financial interests and establishes specific thresholds for ownership that would trigger regulatory oversight, while also standardizing how dispensary sales and pricing are defined for tax purposes. Additionally, the bill adjusts licensing requirements for testing laboratories, modifies reporting obligations for the marijuana hotline, and allows for measurement variances in certain marijuana products like capsules and tinctures. These changes aim to streamline administrative processes and align state regulations with current industry practices without altering the fundamental legal framework for marijuana operations.
