AI Summary

This bill deletes the requirement that qualified physicians be physically present in the same room as their patients when conducting an examination for physician certification for the medical use of marijuana. Instead, it authorizes qualified physicians to conduct such examinations through telehealth, as defined in Florida's laws. The bill maintains other existing requirements, such as the physician conducting a full assessment of the patient's medical history, diagnosing a qualifying medical condition, and obtaining the patient's informed consent. This change aims to provide more flexibility for physicians and patients in accessing medical marijuana certifications.
