2021 House Bill 5512 / 2022 Public Act 186

Revise marijuana law detail

Introduced in the House

Nov. 2, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Julie Calley (R-87)

To clarify that where there are inconsistencies between the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act and certain parts of the revised judicature act of 1961 related to drug treatment courts, the provisions of the latter are the ones that apply. Because the bill amends an initiated law placed on the ballot by a petition drive, amending it requires a three-fourths majority in the House and Senate. The bill addresses an issue in "drug specialty courts" of judges excluding defendants who use "medical marijuana".

Referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform
