This bill modifies appropriations to the Office of Cannabis Management and the Department of Health in Minnesota, specifically addressing funding for cannabis-related initiatives and substance use treatment programs. Key changes include an increase in the base appropriation for the Office of Cannabis Management from $35,587,000 to $39,530,000, with additional allocations for community renewal grants, temporary regulation of hemp-derived products, and the establishment of a state reference laboratory. The bill also specifies funding for various health programs, including $2,863,000 for program operations and administration, and $1,500,000 for grants related to substance misuse prevention and education.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes to enhance the focus on substance misuse prevention, particularly for pregnant individuals and youth.
