Nearby words people confuse with MIPA — how should you read this on MIPA?

If someone says mipa and means a different glossary entry, stop and pick the right slug. The glossary index exists so MIPA stays precise.

MIPA still lives under two federal clocks. Medical activity generally left 280E after the April 2026 order. Adult-use activity did not. SBA SOP 50 10 8 still bars plant-touching 7(a) and 504 loans. SAFE Banking Act of 2026, S.4942 is a bill, not a close condition. Banks that stay in the category still cite FinCEN FIN-2014-G001.

Cited sources that govern MIPA: IRC §280E still disallows ordinary deductions on Schedule I trafficking, which is why adult-use books stay in 280E. FinCEN FIN-2014-G001 remains the SAR frame banks actually use. SBA SOP 50 10 8 keeps plant-touching targets out of 7(a) and 504, including medical. SAFE Banking Act of 2026, S.4942 and H.R.9471 were introduced in 2026 and are not law.
