Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 41-137-63, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Extend The Date Of The Repealer On The Medical Cannabis Advisory Committee; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the date when the Medical Cannabis Advisory Committee, a group established to advise the Mississippi Legislature on medical cannabis, will be dissolved. The committee, which includes representatives from the State Department of Health (formerly referred to as MDOH), the Department of Revenue (formerly referred to as MDOR), patients, physicians, and industry professionals, is responsible for making recommendations on patient access, the effectiveness of medical cannabis businesses and testing facilities, and regulatory safeguards. Currently, the committee is set to be repealed, meaning it would cease to exist, on December 31, 2026, but this bill proposes to push that repeal date back to December 31, 2029, allowing the committee to continue its advisory functions for an additional three years.
