Marihuana: other; references to and regulation of industrial hemp under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act; amend. Amends secs. 3 & 8 of 2018 IL 1 (MCL 333.27953 & 333.27958).
HB 6291 amends the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act to update definitions within the law, specifically clarifying terms related to industrial hemp and cannabis regulatory agencies. The bill establishes that industrial hemp includes cannabis plants, parts, and seeds with a THC concentration of 0.3% or less on a dry-weight basis, while distinguishing these from regulated marijuana products that exceed this threshold. By revising sections 3 and 8 of the existing act, the legislation ensures that the legal framework accurately reflects current terminology and regulatory standards for the cannabis industry. This change directly affects businesses and individuals operating under the state's marijuana laws by providing clearer definitions for compliance and enforcement purposes.
