Bill > SB54

This bill amends Maryland law to prevent the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners from taking disciplinary action, such as suspending or revoking a license, reprimanding, censuring, or placing a veterinarian on probation, solely because that veterinarian discusses or recommends the use of cannabis or a product containing cannabidiol for therapeutic or health supplementation purposes in animals. Cannabis is defined as the plant Cannabis sativa L. and its derivatives with a delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration greater than 0.3% on a dry weight basis, excluding hemp and hemp products. This change aims to protect veterinarians' ability to discuss these options with animal owners without fear of professional repercussions.
