(B) An annual license is required for any of the following entities to operate a marijuana facility:
(1) Growers - licensees that cultivate, dry, trim, or cure and package marijuana for sale to a processor or provisioning center. Registered patients and primary caregivers who lawfully cultivate marijuana in the quantities and for the purposes permitted under the Michigan Marihuana Act are not considered "growers" under the new legislation.
(2) Processors - licensees that purchase marijuana from a grower and exact resin from the marijuana or create a marijuana-infused product for sale and transfer in packaged form to a provisioning center.
(3) Provisioning centers - licensees that purchase marijuana from a grower or processor and sell, supply, or provide marijuana to patients, directly or through the patient's caregiver.
(4) Secure transporters - licensees that store marijuana and transport it between marijuana facilities for a fee.
(5) Safety compliance facilities - licensees that receive marijuana from a marijuana facility or primary caregiver and test it for contaminants and other substances.
