Bill Summary · HB 4967

Overview: HB 4967 is a bill that would amend the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act to clarify references to and regulation of industrial hemp.

Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to align the state's marihuana laws with federal regulations regarding the production and sale of industrial hemp, which was federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.

Key Provisions:
- Explicitly excludes industrial hemp from the definition of "marihuana" under the state's recreational cannabis law
- Aligns the regulation of industrial hemp with the federal framework, including licensing and testing requirements
- Allows for the transportation and sale of industrial hemp and hemp-derived products within Michigan

Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would impact businesses and individuals involved in the production, processing, and sale of industrial hemp and hemp-derived products in Michigan. It would provide clarity and regulatory alignment to support the growth of the state's industrial hemp industry.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill was introduced in the 2025 Michigan legislative session and is currently in the process of being electronically reproduced. Its next steps would involve further committee consideration and potential floor votes in the state House and Senate.
