Bill > SB264

This bill makes several modifications to New Hampshire's therapeutic cannabis program, focusing on three key areas. First, it clarifies that physician assistants prescribing therapeutic cannabis must do so in accordance with a collaboration agreement if such an agreement is required by state law. Second, the bill expands the regulatory oversight of provider conduct by explicitly stating that concerns about providers can be referred to New Hampshire regulatory authorities, in addition to those in neighboring states like Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Third, the bill strengthens existing prohibitions for providers in the therapeutic cannabis program by extending restrictions on financial interactions and conflicts of interest to include not just local alternative treatment centers, but also cannabis dispensaries and entities in other states. These changes aim to enhance the integrity and professionalism of the therapeutic cannabis program by establishing clearer guidelines for providers and ensuring consistent standards across different jurisdictions. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving providers and regulatory bodies time to understand and implement the new requirements.
