Provisional adoption of rules occurs only during the major substantive rulemaking process of the Maine Administrative Procedures Act. Major substantive rules are subject to review by the Maine Legislature before their formal adoption may proceed.
The Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP) has provisionally adopted a rule to revise standards for the Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Program. A copy of the provisionally adopted rule appears below. This version has benefited from the public comment process conducted by OCP.
