Your rules, handled

Michigan’s tax rules and purchase limits are written into CannAgent’s compliance engine from the rule text. Where a figure still waits on an answer from the CRA, it is flagged against the rule rather than guessed.

What we have written for Michigan

Michigan coverage is written against CRA rules: the duty in R 420.505(2) to enter transactions and inventory in the statewide monitoring system as they happen (the CRA sets no end-of-day reconciliation deadline), the wholesale tax that took effect January 1, 2026, and the adult-use and medical split. A direct Metrc API connection is in flight, not shipped, and we say so before you sign.
