Bill Summary

This bill strikes the requirement that a person be a resident of Iowa in order to receive a medical cannabidiol registration card in this state.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Iowa's medical cannabidiol (medical marijuana) registration card requirements by removing the residency restriction, which previously required patients to be Iowa residents to qualify for a registration card. Specifically, the bill eliminates the paragraph in Section 124E.4 that mandated Iowa residency and removes the word "Iowa" from sections describing patient information, effectively allowing non-Iowa residents to obtain medical cannabidiol registration cards in the state. The changes mean that patients from other states can now apply for and receive medical cannabidiol registration cards in Iowa, expanding access to medical marijuana for individuals who may be temporarily in the state or traveling through it. These modifications are part of the Iowa Code for 2025 and represent a broadening of who can access medical cannabidiol within the state's regulatory framework.
