AI Summary
This bill, the Compassionate Access to Medical Cannabis Act, expands the existing Compassionate Access to Medical Cannabis Act (also known as Ryan's Law) to include patients over 65 years of age with chronic diseases, in addition to terminally ill patients. It also expands the definition of "health care facility" to include home health agencies. The bill requires health care facilities that permit the use of medical cannabis to ensure that patients are not denied admission due to their use of medical cannabis. Additionally, the bill authorizes health care facilities to suspend compliance with these provisions if a regulatory agency, the U.S. Department of Justice, or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services makes an inquiry about the facility's activities related to the use of medical cannabis.
