The emergency rules require temporary marijuana operations to cease operations on October 31st if a municipality has not authorized it to operate pursuant to an adopted local ordinance, or is in the process of adopting a local ordinance. Marijuana facilities that receive a state operating license will have a 30 day transition period to record the beginning marijuana product inventory in the seed-to-sale tracking system, test the product prior to sending to dispensaries, and for untested inventory, dispensaries must obtain a certification from the patient or primary caregiver that the product has not been tested. Michigan adopted the new emergency rules after a Michigan judge issued an injunction that prevented the state from closing 98 temporary marijuana operations pursuant to a transition [notice](https://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/091118_-_ADVISORY_BULLETIN_-_September_Emergency_Rules_Transition_632584_7.pdf) that the state issued on September 11, 2018. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2018%2F10%2F02%2F2018-10-2-michigan-mandates-shut-down-of-temporary-marijuana-operations-on-october-31st](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2018%2F10%2F02%2F2018-10-2-michigan-mandates-shut-down-of-temporary-marijuana-operations-on-october-31st) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
