This bill aims to revise existing marijuana laws by introducing a probationary license specifically for testing laboratories. This new provision is intended to facilitate the establishment and operation of testing facilities that ensure the safety and quality of marijuana products. Additionally, the bill allows for a variance in the measurement of a single-serve edible marijuana product, which could provide more flexibility in how these products are defined and regulated.

The bill also includes amendments to Sections 16-12-104 and 16-12-224 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), although specific details of these amendments are not provided in the summary. Overall, the proposed changes are designed to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding marijuana testing and product measurement, potentially improving the industry’s compliance and safety standards.
