Bill Summary
An act relating to medical marijuana treatment center licensure; amending s. 11 of chapter 2024-246, Laws of Florida; requiring the Department of Health to consider all deficiencies in an application for a medical marijuana treatment center license cured if the sole remaining deficiency is the fact that the application was submitted by an entity in legal partnership with a certain eligible recognized class member, or his or her heir, rather than by the class member or heir as an individual; prohibiting the department from using such fact as a reason to deny an application for licensure; providing that such applicants are deemed to have satisfied a specified licensure requirement if certain conditions have been met; requiring the department to issue a medical marijuana treatment center license to such an entity if all other applicable licensure requirements have been met; requiring the department to issue such licenses by a specified date; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Florida law regarding the licensure of medical marijuana treatment centers, specifically addressing situations where an applicant's sole remaining deficiency is related to the legal structure of their application. It requires the Department of Health to consider an application's deficiencies cured if the only outstanding issue is that the application was submitted by an entity in a legal partnership with a recognized eligible class member (or their heir) rather than by that individual directly. This provision aims to prevent the denial of licenses based on this specific technicality, deeming such applicants to have met a key licensure requirement if their partnership entity has been registered to do business in Florida for five consecutive years prior to applying. The bill mandates that the Department of Health issue licenses to these eligible entities by July 1, 2026, provided all other licensing requirements are met.
