Plain-English Summary

Currently, marijuana businesses can deduct ordinary business expenses from their taxes like any other company, but this bill would prevent them from claiming those deductions, effectively increasing their tax burden. The change would apply to businesses operating in states where marijuana is legal, making it harder for them to remain profitable since they'd pay taxes on their full revenue rather than revenue minus expenses. This would affect marijuana retailers, growers, and distributors across the country.
