The bill amends the Industrial Hemp Growers Act by updating several sections to clarify definitions and regulations surrounding industrial hemp cultivation in Michigan. Key insertions include the definition of "acceptable THC level," which specifies the measurement of uncertainty for total delta-9-THC concentration, and the introduction of terms such as "compliance monitoring testing facility" and "regulatory testing facility." Additionally, the bill modifies the registration process for growers, stipulating that registrations are valid for one year and detailing the renewal process, including fees and conditions for late applications.

Significant deletions from the current law include the removal of references to "processor-handlers" licensed under the industrial hemp research and development act, which streamlines the language regarding the sale and transport of industrial hemp. The bill also emphasizes the responsibilities of growers, such as ensuring compliance with their registration and maintaining control over their growing locations. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance the regulatory framework for industrial hemp production, ensuring compliance and safety within the industry.
