Summary

The legislation gives existing medical cannabis delivery licensees one more year to operate, allows micro‑dispensaries to employ up to 20 people instead of 10, and updates the training program requirements for cannabis agents. It also tells the Maryland Cannabis Administration to give priority to training programs that were already approved as responsible‑vendor programs. The changes aim to give businesses more flexibility while keeping safety and education standards.
