Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize Department of Veterans Affairs health care providers to provide recommendations and opinions to veterans regarding participation in State marijuana programs.
AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans Equal Access Act, would authorize Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care providers to provide recommendations and opinions to veterans regarding their participation in state marijuana programs. The bill defines "state" broadly to include the several states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. territories and possessions, and federally recognized Native American tribes. This would allow VA providers to discuss and document their recommendations about veterans' use of medical marijuana in states where it is legal, even though marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.
