The Northern Michigan Public Service Academy is hosting a Medical Marijuana Law Update Seminar on Wednesday, August 23.
In 2016, Governor Snyder signed three new laws that clarify and add to the state’s voter-approved Michigan Medical Marijuana Act from 2008. The new laws give local governments the authority to regulate the location and number of medical marijuana provisioning centers, allow marijuana-infused products, and create a “seed to sale” tracking system to ensure that any marijuana being dispensed to patients has been tested for safety. The bills are now PA 281-283 of 2016.
This workshop is an opportunity for local government officials to learn about options in prohibiting or accepting and regulating medical marijuana dispensaries, growing facilities, processing, product testing, and transport facilities.
Registration is required. Fees are $25 for NMPSA members, $75 for non-members and $15 for students.
The seminar will be at the Lakeview Arena Citizen’s Forum Room in Marquette and will include lunch.
Contact NMPSA Coordinator Katie Sholander at nmpsa@mqtcty.org with any questions.
