Bill > SB0121

This bill makes several amendments to Utah's medical cannabis program, including clarifying rules for cannabis production establishments and medical cannabis pharmacies, such as extending the timeframe for ownership changes to be re-licensed from 30 to 60 days, and allowing cannabis cultivation facilities to operate at two addresses under a single license. It also modifies requirements for cannabis product labeling, specifically allowing the word "hash" in product names and permitting radiation-based methods for quality assurance or remediation with departmental approval. The bill also streamlines the process for issuing medical cannabis patient cards, allowing for immediate issuance of a conditional card upon recommendation, and expands eligibility for guardian cards to include legal guardians of incapacitated adults, while also removing the requirement for a criminal background check fee for guardian and caregiver applicants. Furthermore, it establishes a program to provide monthly $150 vouchers to eligible medical cannabis cardholders enrolled in Medicaid or Medicare, administered through a contracted nonprofit entity, and adjusts the repeal date for the medical cannabis governance structure working group from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027.
