Bill > HF990

This bill modifies the existing law regarding medical cannabidiol (medical cannabis) dispensary licensing in Iowa. Specifically, the bill changes the process for selecting and licensing medical cannabidiol dispensaries by shifting from a "request for proposals" approach to an "applications" approach. The bill increases the potential number of dispensaries from five to ten and removes a previous requirement that dispensaries be initially selected by April 1, 2018. The department will continue to license new or existing medical cannabidiol dispensaries by December 1 each year. The bill also eliminates an entire subsection (subsection 2) from the existing law, though the specific details of that subsection are not provided in the bill text. These changes appear to provide more flexibility in the licensing of medical cannabidiol dispensaries in the state of Iowa, potentially allowing for greater access to medical cannabis for patients.
