Public comment period opens Jan. 13 for proposed cannabis rules

The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is reaching another significant milestone in launching Minnesota’s new cannabis industry.

On Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, OCM will publish in the State Register a notice of intent to adopt expedited rules. That notice will trigger a 30-day public comment period, which starts the same day and closes at 4:30 p.m. CST on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. Member of the public can submit comment in support of or in opposition to the proposed expedited rules and any part or subpart of the rules.

Starting Monday, Jan. 13, submit written comments via the Office of Administrative Hearings Rulemaking eComments website, by U.S. mail to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 600 North Robert Street, P.O. Box 64620, St. Paul, Minnesota 55164-0620, or by fax to 651-539-0310.

Your comment should identify the portion of the proposed expedited rules addressed and the reason for the comment. In addition, you are encouraged to propose any change desired. You must also make any comments that you have on the legality of the proposed rules during this comment period. If the proposed expedited rules affect you in any way, the office encourages you to participate in the rulemaking process. All comments or responses received are public data and will be available for review on the eComments website.

A copy of the proposed rules will be published in the State Register. The proposed expedited rules will be available starting Monday, Jan. 13, on OCM’s Rulemaking webpage. A free copy of the rules will be available upon request by contacting [email protected].
