Bill > S0974

This bill amends Florida's medical marijuana laws to provide a reduced fee of $15 for veterans seeking to obtain, replace, or renew their medical marijuana use registry identification cards. To qualify for the reduced fee, veterans must provide proof of their veteran status through one of three acceptable documents: a DD-214 form (standard military discharge document), a Department of Veterans Affairs or Uniformed Services identification card showing retired status, or a Florida driver's license with a veteran designation. The bill defines a veteran according to Florida Statute 1.01(14), and the reduced fee provision aims to make medical marijuana access more affordable for veterans who may be using it for medical purposes. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving state agencies time to implement the new fee structure and update their identification card processes.
