                                                                                                         IN COMMITTEE

House Bill 5512 (as passed by the House)

Sponsor:  Representative Julie Calley

Date Completed:  6-7-22

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA) to require the Act to comply with certain provisions of the Revised Judicature Act.

Generally, the MMMA authorizes the possession and use of limited amounts of marihuana by individuals with certain conditions who have been issued a medical marihuana registry identification card. The card holder is prohibited from possessing or otherwise engaging in the use of medical marihuana in certain places.

Under the bill, however, if the MMMA were inconsistent with any part of Chapters 10a (Drug Treatment Courts), 10b (Mental Health Courts), 10c (Juvenile Mental Health Courts), or 12 (Veterans Treatment Courts) of the Revised Judicature Act, that part would apply.
