This bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework for cannabis and hemp businesses in Minnesota by introducing a new cannabis macrobusiness license and updating various provisions related to cannabis operations. Key changes include the establishment of labeling requirements for cannabinoid products and lower-potency hemp edibles, as well as the stipulation that data reported to the Office of Cannabis Management will not be considered public data. The bill replaces the term "medical combination business" with "macrobusiness" and introduces a new category for "ratio hemp-infused cannabis products." It also outlines the powers and duties of the Office of Cannabis Management, which include conducting studies on the cannabis industry and illicit market, regulating product manufacturing and labeling, and ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.

Additionally, the bill modifies licensing regulations, allowing for the transfer and reclassification of cannabis licenses, particularly emphasizing social equity licenses. It introduces new endorsements for cannabis businesses, including an edible cannabinoid product handler endorsement, and establishes specific requirements for cannabis event organizers. The bill also mandates compliance checks and inspections for cannabis businesses, ensuring adherence to local zoning ordinances and safety standards. Effective dates for many provisions are set for January 1, 2027, while some powers and duties of the Office will take effect immediately following final enactment. Overall, the bill aims to promote economic growth in the cannabis industry while ensuring public safety and social equity.
