The new law will require that each business is required to pay %3 of all gross monthly profits to the State Medical Marijuana excise fund and, 30% of the money collected goes to finance the first responders presumed coverage fund.  All firefighter professionals in Michigan will immensely benefit from this legislation.

Part 6 Sec. 602. (1) of Public Act 281  states that the medical marihuana excise fund is created in the state treasury.

    facilities within the county.
  • (c) 5% to counties in which a marihuana facility is located, allocated in proportion to the number of marihuana facilities within the county.
