Bill Summary
For legislation to ensure access to medical cannabis for visiting qualifying patients. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure access to medical cannabis for visiting qualifying patients. It amends an existing law by adding a definition for "visiting qualifying patient" as a person who resides in another jurisdiction within the United States that authorizes medical marijuana use, possesses a valid medical marijuana certification from that jurisdiction, and has photographic identification or a driver's license from that jurisdiction. The bill further grants visiting qualifying patients the same rights and protections as qualifying patients under the existing law, with the exception that the residency requirement in the law does not apply to visiting qualifying patients.
