GROWER LICENSE LIMITATIONS

House Bill 5189 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. Jim Runestad

Committee:  Judiciary

Complete to 10-30-17

SUMMARY:

House Bill 5189 would amend the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to add additional limitations to a grower license.

Currently under the law, a grower license does not authorize the grower to operate in area unless the area is zoned for industrial or agricultural uses, or is unzoned and otherwise meets the requirements established in Section 205(1).[1]

The bill would add that a grower license also does not authorize a grower to operate at a marihuana facility at which another grower is licensed to operate, or to hold two or more grower licenses at a single marihuana facility.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The bill would not have a fiscal impact on units of state or local government.
