AI Summary

  • Requires the marijuana regulatory agency to process state license applications within 90 days of receiving a complete application and fee, and mandates forwarding applications to relevant municipalities for review.

  • Establishes eight types of state marijuana licenses: retailer, safety compliance facility, secure transporter, processor, microbusiness, and three classes of growers (A, B, C) based on plant cultivation limits of 100, 500, and 2,000 plants respectively.

  • Prohibits marihuana establishments from locating within 1,000 feet of pre-existing public or private K-12 schools unless both the municipality adopts an ordinance reducing the distance requirement AND the school's governing body approves the location.

  • Restricts ownership interests to prevent conflicts of interest, including prohibiting persons from holding interests in both safety compliance/secure transporter operations and cultivation/retail operations, and limiting ownership in multiple growers (5 maximum) or microbusinesses (1 maximum) unless future rules permit otherwise.

  • Limits initial applicants for 24 months to Michigan residents (Class A growers and microbusinesses) and existing medical marihuana license holders (other license types), with any applicant eligible for safety compliance facilities; municipalities with establishment caps must use competitive selection processes to choose among qualified applicants.
