Abstract
(HB6440 · 103rd Legislature) Marihuana: taxation; additional excise tax on wholesale marihuana; suspend for a period of time Amends sec. 5 of 2025 PA 23 (MCL 205.905). Sponsor: Rep. Jay DeBoyer ® In committee: H Appropriations Latest action (2026-11-05): Bill Electronically Reproduced 10/28/2026
Why this matters
The additional wholesale marihuana excise tax enacted earlier in 2025 added a new revenue layer on top of existing cannabis taxes. A temporary suspension would reduce costs for licensed cannabis wholesalers and processors in the short term while cutting a state revenue stream earmarked under PA 23, so the pause affects both industry margins and the budget line it funds.
