Bill > HB65

This bill amends the Georgia Code to change the provisions related to the Low THC Oil Patient Registry, which allows patients with certain medical conditions to access low THC oil. The key changes are: 1) It creates a Joint Study Commission on Low THC Medical Oil Access to study various aspects of in-state access to medical cannabis and low THC oil, including security, quality control, and ensuring affordable and widespread availability. 2) It adds "intractable pain" as a qualifying condition for the registry, defining it as pain that cannot be adequately treated through standard pain management methods. 3) It requires the Georgia Board of Public Health to annually review the qualifying conditions and recommend any additional conditions that can be effectively treated with low THC oil. 4) It removes certain reporting requirements related to the registry.
