The bill amends the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act by making several significant changes to the regulations governing marihuana establishments. It stipulates that these establishments shall not engage in activities such as cultivating, processing, selling, or displaying marihuana in a manner that is visible from public places without the use of optical aids. Additionally, it prohibits marihuana establishments from allowing individuals under 21 years of age to volunteer or work, and from selling marihuana or accessories that do not comply with specific safety standards, such as those involving heating elements.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new compliance requirements for marihuana establishments, including securing all entrances to restrict access to authorized personnel only, and ensuring that inventory and equipment are secured during operating hours to prevent theft. It also mandates that agents from the cannabis regulatory agency have the right to inspect the premises and audit records during operational hours. The bill emphasizes the importance of safety and compliance in the marihuana industry, aiming to enhance regulatory oversight and protect public health.
