Minnesota’s Retail Marijuana Rules Sent For Final Approval Before License Rollout
A judge will have 14 days to approve, deny or alter the rules
The OCM says on Tuesday it submitted its proposed rules governing legal cannabis for final approval – an act seen as the next step toward recreational cannabis dispensaries opening.
Much like the licenses themselves, the process has been multi-layered and involved several rounds of public input.
A first draft of the proposed rules was shared by the OCM in 2024 and sought public feedback. A final draft was then posted from Jan. 13 to Feb. 12, seeking Minnesotans’ final input before they can be approved by an administrative law judge.
A judge will now have 14 days to approve, deny or otherwise alter the rules. A final set of approved rules will then be published in the State Register – making them adopted, and in effect.
The OCM says it can begin issuing cannabis business licenses once the rules are formally adopted.
