This bill authorizes certain liquor wholesalers in Minnesota to purchase and sell lower-potency hemp edibles, establishing a new regulatory framework under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 342. It requires wholesalers to have a valid license and to register with the appropriate office by April 1, 2025, to engage in these activities. The bill outlines the approved actions for registered wholesalers, including purchasing from various cannabis-related businesses and selling to specific retailers. It also mandates that wholesalers maintain accurate records, comply with health and safety regulations, and ensure proper labeling and packaging of the products.

Additionally, the bill sets forth guidelines for the transportation of lower-potency hemp edibles, requiring tamper-evident packaging and documentation of all transport activities. It allows for the importation of hemp-derived products from licensed manufacturers in other jurisdictions, provided they meet certain safety standards. The office has the authority to enforce compliance with these regulations, including the ability to impose penalties and cancel registrations for violations. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after final enactment.
