Bill > SB371

This bill makes several key changes to the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act, which governs New Mexico's medical cannabis program. The bill expands the list of qualifying medical conditions, establishes a three-year certification period for most patients, and allows for interstate reciprocity for out-of-state medical cannabis patients. It also requires the Department of Health to license medical cannabis producers on a biennial basis, removes participation in the medical cannabis program as grounds for child protective services intervention, and allows for employer or insurer payment of medical cannabis under workers' compensation. Overall, the bill aims to broaden access and provide more flexibility within New Mexico's medical cannabis program.
