(iv) has been judicially committed to a treatment facility in Minnesota or elsewhere as a person who is mentally ill, developmentally disabled, or mentally ill and dangerous to the public, as defined in section 253B.02;

(13) a person who is subject to an order for protection as described in section 260C.201, subdivision 3, paragraph (d), or 518B.01, subdivision 6, paragraph (g).

The prohibition in this subdivision relating to the possession of firearms other than pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons does not apply retroactively to persons who are prohibited from possessing a pistol or semiautomatic military-style assault weapon under this subdivision before August 1, 1994.

 

The lifetime prohibition on possessing, receiving, shipping, or transporting firearms and ammunition for persons convicted or adjudicated delinquent of a crime of violence in clause (2), applies only to offenders who are discharged from sentence or court supervision for a crime of violence on or after August 1, 1993.

 

Participation as a patient in the registry program or use of adult-use cannabis or adult-use cannabis products by a person 21 years of age or older does not disqualify the person from possessing firearms and ammunition under this section.

 

For purposes of this section, "judicial determination" means a court proceeding pursuant to sections 253B.07 to 253B.09 or a comparable law from another state.

 

Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 624.714, subdivision 6, is amended to read:

(1) issue the permit to carry;

 

(2) deny the application for a permit to carry solely on the grounds that the applicant failed to qualify under the criteria described in subdivision 2, paragraph (b); or

 

(3) deny the application on the grounds that there exists a substantial likelihood that the applicant is a danger to self or the public if authorized to carry a pistol under a permit.

 

(b) Failure of the sheriff to notify the applicant of the denial of the application within 30 days after the date of receipt of the application packet constitutes issuance of the permit to carry and the sheriff must promptly fulfill the requirements under paragraph (c).  To deny the application, the sheriff must provide the applicant with written notification and the specific factual basis justifying the denial under paragraph (a), clause (2) or (3), including the source of the factual basis.  The sheriff must inform the applicant of the applicant's right to submit, within 20 business days, any additional documentation relating to the propriety of the denial.  Upon receiving any

additional documentation, the sheriff must reconsider the denial and inform the applicant within 15 business days of the result of the reconsideration.  Any denial after reconsideration must be in the same form and substance as the original denial and must specifically address any continued deficiencies in light of the additional documentation submitted by the applicant.  The applicant must be informed of the right to seek de novo review of the denial as provided in subdivision 12.

 

(c) Upon issuing a permit to carry, the sheriff must provide a laminated permit card to the applicant by first class mail unless personal delivery has been made.  Within five business days, the sheriff must submit the information specified in subdivision 7, paragraph (a), to the commissioner for inclusion solely in the database required under subdivision 15, paragraph (a).  The sheriff must transmit the information in a manner and format prescribed by the commissioner.

 

(d) Within five business days of learning that a permit to carry has been suspended or revoked, the sheriff must submit information to the commissioner regarding the suspension or revocation for inclusion solely in the databases required or permitted under subdivision 15.

 

(e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), the sheriff may suspend the application process if a charge is pending against the applicant that, if resulting in conviction, will prohibit the applicant from possessing a firearm.

 

(f) A sheriff shall not deny an application for a permit to carry solely because the applicant is a patient enrolled in the registry program and uses medical cannabis or medical cannabis products for a qualifying medical condition or because the person is 21 years of age or older and uses adult-use cannabis or adult use cannabis products.

 

Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 624.7142, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert:

 

"Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 152.25, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1.  Medical cannabis manufacturer registration.  (a) The commissioner shall register two in-state manufacturers for the production of all medical cannabis within the state.  A registration agreement between the commissioner and a manufacturer is nontransferable.  The commissioner shall register new manufacturers or reregister the existing manufacturers by December 1 renew existing manufacturer registrations every two years, using the factors described in this subdivision paragraph (c), and shall accept applications for new manufacturer registrations at any time.  The commissioner shall accept applications after December 1, 2014, if one of the manufacturers registered before December 1, 2014, ceases to be registered as a manufacturer.  The commissioner's determination that no manufacturer exists to fulfill the duties under sections 152.22 to 152.37 is subject to judicial review in Ramsey County District Court. The commissioner may register any manufacturer that is able to satisfy the factors in paragraph (c) according to standards established by the commissioner.  Data submitted during the application process are private data on individuals or nonpublic data as defined in section 13.02 until the manufacturer is registered under this section.  Data on a manufacturer that is registered are public data, unless the data are trade secret or security information under section 13.37.

 

(b) As a condition for registration, a manufacturer must agree to:

 

(1) begin supplying medical cannabis to patients by July 1, 2015; and

 

(2) comply with all requirements under sections 152.22 to 152.37.

 

(c) The commissioner shall consider the following factors when determining which manufacturer to register whether to register a manufacturer or renew a registration:

 

(1) the technical expertise of the manufacturer in cultivating medical cannabis and converting the medical cannabis into an acceptable delivery method under section 152.22, subdivision 6;

 

(2) the qualifications of the manufacturer's employees;


Journal of the House - 56th Day - Thursday, May 13, 2021 - Top of Page 7044

(3) the long-term financial stability of the manufacturer;

 

(4) the ability to provide appropriate security measures on the premises of the manufacturer;

 

(5) whether the manufacturer has demonstrated an ability to meet the medical cannabis production needs required by sections 152.22 to 152.37; and

 

(6) the manufacturer's projection and ongoing assessment of fees on patients with a qualifying medical condition.

 

(d) If an officer, director, or controlling person of the manufacturer pleads or is found guilty of intentionally diverting medical cannabis to a person other than allowed by law under section 152.33, subdivision 1, the commissioner may decide not to renew the registration of the manufacturer, provided the violation occurred while the person was an officer, director, or controlling person of the manufacturer.

 

(e) The commissioner shall require each medical cannabis manufacturer to contract with an independent laboratory to test medical cannabis produced by the manufacturer.  The commissioner shall approve the laboratory chosen by each manufacturer and require that the laboratory report testing results to the manufacturer in a manner determined by the commissioner.

 

Sec. 2.  Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 152.29, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1.  Manufacturer; requirements.  (a) A manufacturer may operate throughout the state.  A manufacturer may operate eight distribution facilities, which may include the manufacturer's single location for cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging, and processing but is not required to include that location.  The commissioner shall designate the geographical service areas to be served by each manufacturer based on geographical need throughout the state to improve patient access.  A manufacturer shall not have more than two distribution facilities in each geographical service area assigned to the manufacturer by the commissioner. A manufacturer shall operate only one location where all cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging, and processing of medical cannabis shall be conducted.  This location may be one of the manufacturer's distribution facility sites.  The additional distribution facilities may dispense medical cannabis and medical cannabis products but may not contain any medical cannabis in a form other than those forms allowed under section 152.22, subdivision 6, and the manufacturer shall not conduct any cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging, or processing at the other distribution facility sites.  Any distribution facility operated by the manufacturer is subject to all of the requirements applying to the manufacturer under sections 152.22 to 152.37, including, but not limited to, security and distribution requirements.

 

(b) A manufacturer may acquire hemp grown in this state from a hemp grower.  A manufacturer may manufacture or process hemp into an allowable form of medical cannabis under section 152.22, subdivision 6.  Hemp acquired by a manufacturer under this paragraph is subject to the same quality control program, security and testing requirements, and other requirements that apply to medical cannabis under sections 152.22 to 152.37 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 4770.

 

(c) A medical cannabis manufacturer shall contract with a laboratory approved by the commissioner, subject to any additional requirements set by the commissioner, for purposes of testing medical cannabis manufactured or hemp acquired by the medical cannabis manufacturer as to content, contamination, and consistency to verify the medical cannabis meets the requirements of section 152.22, subdivision 6.  The cost of laboratory testing shall be paid by the manufacturer.

 

(d) The operating documents of a manufacturer must include:

 

(1) procedures for the oversight of the manufacturer and procedures to ensure accurate record keeping;


Journal of the House - 56th Day - Thursday, May 13, 2021 - Top of Page 7045

(2) procedures for the implementation of appropriate security measures to deter and prevent the theft of medical cannabis and unauthorized entrance into areas containing medical cannabis; and

 

(3) procedures for the delivery and transportation of hemp between hemp growers and manufacturers.

 

(e) A manufacturer shall implement security requirements, including requirements for the delivery and transportation of hemp, protection of each location by a fully operational security alarm system, facility access controls, perimeter intrusion detection systems, and a personnel identification system.

 

(f) A manufacturer shall not share office space with, refer patients to a health care practitioner, or have any financial relationship with a health care practitioner.

 

(g) A manufacturer shall not permit any person to consume medical cannabis on the property of the manufacturer.

 

(h) A manufacturer is subject to reasonable inspection by the commissioner.

 

(i) For purposes of sections 152.22 to 152.37, a medical cannabis manufacturer is not subject to the Board of Pharmacy licensure or regulatory requirements under chapter 151.

 

(j) A medical cannabis manufacturer may not employ any person who is under 21 years of age or who has been convicted of a disqualifying felony offense.  An employee of a medical cannabis manufacturer must submit a completed criminal history records check consent form, a full set of classifiable fingerprints, and the required fees for submission to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension before an employee may begin working with the manufacturer.  The bureau must conduct a Minnesota criminal history records check and the superintendent is authorized to exchange the fingerprints with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain the applicant's national criminal history record information.  The bureau shall return the results of the Minnesota and federal criminal history records checks to the commissioner.

 

(k) A manufacturer may not operate in any location, whether for distribution or cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging, or processing, within 1,000 feet of a public or private school existing before the date of the manufacturer's registration with the commissioner.

 

(l) A manufacturer shall comply with reasonable restrictions set by the commissioner relating to signage, marketing, display, and advertising of medical cannabis.

 

(m) Before a manufacturer acquires hemp from a hemp grower, the manufacturer must verify that the hemp grower has a valid license issued by the commissioner of agriculture under chapter 18K.

 

(n) Until a state-centralized, seed-to-sale system is implemented that can track a specific medical cannabis plant from cultivation through testing and point of sale, the commissioner shall conduct at least one unannounced inspection per year of each manufacturer that includes inspection of:

 

(1) business operations;

 

(2) physical locations of the manufacturer's manufacturing facility and distribution facilities;

 

(3) financial information and inventory documentation, including laboratory testing results; and

 

(4) physical and electronic security alarm systems."
