Bill > SF46

This bill modifies Iowa's medical cannabidiol (medical marijuana) dispensary licensing regulations by changing several key provisions. Specifically, the bill replaces the previous process of issuing a request for proposals with an application-based system, increases the number of permitted medical cannabidiol dispensaries from five to ten, and introduces a new limitation that allows a single licensee to hold a maximum of three dispensary licenses. The bill also removes an existing subsection (Section 2) related to the dispensary selection process, which suggests simplifying the licensing framework. The department will continue to be responsible for licensing medical cannabidiol dispensaries annually, with a December 1st deadline for issuing new or renewed licenses. These changes appear aimed at expanding access to medical cannabidiol in Iowa by increasing the number of potential dispensaries and streamlining the licensing process.
