SF 4877 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cannabis license application periods and issuance modification

This bill modifies how cannabis licenses are issued in Minnesota by changing application periods and the number of licenses available for different license types. It sets specific maximum license limits for social equity and general applicants before July 1, 2026, and requires the state office to determine future license numbers based on established goals while ensuring social equity applicants receive equal or greater access than general applicants. The bill also updates application procedures by requiring advance announcements of licensing periods with specific details and allowing certain license types like wholesalers and transporters to be applied for at any time. Additionally, it clarifies that the office is not required to issue the maximum number of licenses and establishes a 14-day window for applicants to correct incomplete applications.
