The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has posted the first draft of proposed rules (PDF) for Minnesota's cannabis industry.
OCM encourages people to submit feedback on the draft rules by using this form. The feedback window will be open from July 31-Aug. 30.
This is not the official rules package, but rather a first draft in advance of the public comment period expected later this fall. The first draft is based on substantial input OCM has received through surveys, meetings, and conversations that took place since last fall as well as OCM's review of Minnesota's cannabis statute and cannabis rules in other states.
While these draft rules may be informative for potential operators and consumers, they may change as OCM goes through the formal rulemaking process.
This is another key milestone for OCM and an important marker as the state observes the one-year anniversary of adult-use cannabis legalization on Aug. 1.
Later this year, OCM will publish in the State Register a notice of intent to adopt rules, which will prompt a 30-day formal comment period. Watch the OCM website for updates.
