Next date to watch
Federal cap 11/12. Pending SB599-602/HB5040-43 would add AG enforcement/packaging rules, not yet enacted, no confirmed pre-Nov flip.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Michigan posture above.
