Medical Marihuana Fund Appropriations


Recommended Posts

I know most people don't pay attention to it, but we have new language this year dealing with the new tracking act, commercial act and a clause about the LEO disbursements from the medical marihuana fund.

 

 

Police disbursements see subsection 5:

 

 

11 (5) The fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 is anticipated to be the final year

12 that medical marihuana enforcement grants will be disbursed to local units of

13 government due to the implementation of the medical marihuana facilities licensing

14 act, 2016 PA 281, MCL 333.27101 to 333.27801, which provides local units of government

15 with disbursements from the medical marihuana excise tax collections.

Yes, earlier on Sec. 12 there is over 20 million set aside for staffing and all expenditures related to the mmfla.   $ for LEO would be include in those $.
