Proposed changes to marijuana license cap legislation include new rules on outstanding tax debt

The Michigan state Senate is tweaking its marijuana license cap law to make it harder for growers and dispensary operators with unpaid industry-related taxes to get a license. This change aims to stabilize the industry, which is struggling under a new 24% wholesale tax. By targeting those with tax debt, the state hopes to ensure financial responsibility and healthier business practices in the cannabis sector, reflecting a broader push for regulatory integrity and sustainability.
