HF 4200 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Data reported to Office of Cannabis Management through statewide monitoring system made not public data, and provisions related to public data on cannabis business license applicants and license holders modified.

This bill classifies certain data submitted to Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management as nonpublic, including information from the statewide monitoring system and details about retail or wholesale customers and workers. It modifies which application and license holder information remains public, such as applicant names, ownership details, and legal possession of business premises, while keeping financial records and customer lists private. The changes apply to both cannabis and hemp business license applicants and holders, ensuring specific sensitive data is protected from public disclosure while maintaining transparency on other operational details.
