The CRA is authorized under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder, to exclude a person from employment at, or participation in, a marijuana business.
Michigan’s marijuana industry exclusion lists — both voluntary and involuntary — are available online and include individuals excluded from participating in the licensed marijuana industry in Michigan. Individuals may voluntarily exclude themselves from employment at, or participating in a marijuana business, by signing a Consent Order and Stipulation to resolve disciplinary action the CRA has initiated against them.
Licensees must screen prospective employees, supplemental applicants, and owners against the exclusion lists as they are prohibited from employing excluded individuals or allowing them to be supplemental applicants on a license.
