AI Summary
This bill mandates that the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state agency that studies issues affecting local governments, conduct a comprehensive study on the potential implementation of a medical cannabis program in Tennessee. The study will examine the necessary steps to establish such a program and assess the preparedness of both state and local government bodies to manage and support a medical marijuana system. State departments and agencies are required to assist TACIR with this study upon request, and TACIR must submit a report detailing its findings to the General Assembly by November 1, 2026. This bill does not establish a medical cannabis program itself but rather focuses on the preparatory research needed before one could be considered.
