Utah law currently allows the governor to enter into agreements with federally recognized tribes permitting the operation of a medical cannabis production facility or pharmacy on tribal land within the state. This bill clarifies that such agreements specifically authorize the tribe itself to operate these facilities, rather than simply allowing for their operation. It also adds new rules for any cannabis production facility run under one of these tribal agreements, specifying that the facility is exempt from the state's overall cap on the number of production licenses allowed, may transport cannabis and medical cannabis products to other licensed facilities and pharmacies in Utah, and must otherwise follow all the same state requirements, fees, fines, and disciplinary rules that apply to other licensed cannabis businesses.
