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 providers to obtain written informed consent from individuals before testing them for the presence of marijuana or THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis), disclosing the test results to others, or identifying the individual as having undergone such a test. The bill defines "written informed consent" as a separate consent form for each requested test or release of test results, which must state the purpose for which the information is being requested. Violating this requirement would be considered a violation of the state's consumer protection law, Chapter 93A.
