Under existing law, the governor can enter into agreements with federally recognized tribes to allow medical cannabis operations on tribal land within Utah. This bill clarifies that those agreements specifically authorize the tribe itself to operate cannabis production facilities or medical cannabis pharmacies, and it adds new rules governing any tribe-operated cannabis production facility — including that it is exempt from the state's cap on production licenses, may transport cannabis to other licensed facilities in the state, and must follow all the same state requirements, fees, fines, and disciplinary rules that apply to other licensed cannabis businesses.
