Bill Summary
An act relating to medical marijuana use registry identification cards for veterans; amending s. 381.986, F.S.; authorizing the Department of Health to charge a reduced fee for the issuance, replacement, or renewal of an identification card for an honorably discharged veteran; providing requirements for proof of identification; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Florida's medical marijuana law to provide a reduced fee of $15 for veterans obtaining, replacing, or renewing their medical marijuana use registry identification cards. To qualify for this reduced fee, veterans must provide proof of veteran status through one of three acceptable documents: a DD-214 form (which is a 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. By offering a lower fee, the bill aims to make medical marijuana identification cards more accessible to veterans who may use marijuana for medical purposes. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving state agencies time to implement the new fee structure and documentation requirements.
