The proposed bill establishes the Office of Cannabis Management and the Cannabis Advisory Council in Minnesota, aiming to regulate the use, sale, and cultivation of cannabis. It legalizes adult possession and use of cannabis while implementing strict regulations for cannabis businesses, including licensing, inspection, and testing requirements. The bill also introduces advertising limitations, labeling requirements, and grant programs to support the cannabis industry. Key provisions include the taxation of adult-use cannabis sales, expungement procedures for individuals with prior cannabis-related offenses, and labor standards for employees in the cannabis sector. The legislation emphasizes social equity and aims to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis while addressing public health and safety concerns.

Additionally, the bill introduces new definitions and regulations for cannabis and hemp businesses, establishes a statewide monitoring system for cannabis tracking, and outlines licensing requirements for various cannabis-related activities. It includes provisions for the cultivation of cannabis in private residences, the transfer of regulatory authority for the medical cannabis program, and the establishment of a patient registry. The bill also emphasizes local control over cannabis businesses, prohibits local governments from banning cannabis possession, and sets forth guidelines for social equity applicants. Overall, the legislation seeks to modernize Minnesota's approach to cannabis regulation, ensuring compliance with safety standards while promoting community development and responsible cannabis use.
