Studies and an annual market analysis conducted by the Office of Cannabis Management modified, and reports required.

This bill requires Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management to conduct specific studies and submit annual reports to the legislature regarding the state's cannabis industry. The studies must examine industry growth and demand, the size of the illicit market, and the impact of cannabis use on impaired driving incidents. Additionally, the office must perform an annual market analysis that reviews license availability, market stability, and the effect of unregulated sales on the legal market. The legislation mandates public meetings to gather input from consumers and stakeholders before submitting these reports, which are due by January 15 each year. These requirements directly affect the Office of Cannabis Management and provide the legislature with data to monitor the regulated cannabis program.
