Bill > HB1079

This bill amends the Workers' Compensation Act to provide reimbursement for medical marijuana use by qualifying patients. Under the new provisions, employers must provide a dollar-for-dollar reimbursement for medical marijuana up to $250 per month, with a yearly maximum of $3,000. The bill also requires insurers to establish a system to reimburse patients on at least a quarterly basis, and patients are eligible for reimbursement of the fee to obtain and renew the required identification card. The bill defines key terms such as "identification card," "medical marijuana," and "patient" by referencing the definitions in the Medical Marijuana Act.
