4. Nothing in subdivision two of this section shall prevent a distributor from charging an appropriate fee, authorized by the board, for the distribution of cannabis, including based on the volume of cannabis distributed.

5. Adult-use distributor licensees are subject to minimum operating requirements as determined by the board in regulation.
