MI HB5706

Establishes definitions and regulatory framework for "tribal marihuana businesses" operated by Indian tribes on their lands, including "qualifying Indian tribes" that meet specific conditions regarding regulatory agreements and tax requirements.

Changes regulatory authority from the "department of licensing and regulatory affairs" to the "marijuana regulatory agency" throughout the act and clarifies the agency's powers and duties, including employment of personnel and contracting with advisors and Indian tribes.

Allows the marijuana regulatory agency to enter into agreements with Indian tribes regarding marihuana-related regulatory issues, including commercial growing, processing, sale, testing, transportation, and possession on Indian lands.

Permits tribal marihuana businesses to engage in authorized activities without state licensing and exempts marihuana sold by tribal marihuana businesses from the 10% state excise tax, while requiring qualifying Indian tribes to impose their own tax at rates equal to or greater than the state rate.

Takes effect only if House Bill No. 6060 of the 101st Legislature is enacted into law.
