2020 House Bill 5490: Revise marijuana licensure detail
Public Act 207 of 2020
Introduced by Rep. Brandt Iden R-Kalamazoo on February 13, 2020
To empower the state marijuana regulatory agency to approve the operation of a marihuana facility by a court-appointed personal representative, guardian, conservator, receiver or trustee of an individual who holds or has an interest in a state license. This is said to be a response to the reality that many federal financial and other processes are unavailable to marijuana facilities acting lawfully in Michigan, given that marijuana sales and possession are still federal crimes.
