Bill Summary
Relative to requiring informed consent for marijuana testing at certain health care facilities. Cannabis Policy.
AI Summary
This bill would require health care facilities, physicians, and other health care providers to obtain a person's written informed consent before testing them for the presence of marijuana or THC, disclosing the results of such a test to anyone other than the subject, or identifying the subject of the test to any person. The bill defines "written informed consent" as a separate written consent form for each requested test and release of results, which must clearly state the purpose for which the information is being requested. Violating this requirement would be considered a violation of the state's consumer protection laws.
