Summary
The bill mandates that permits a health facility to allow patients who are terminally ill and who are registered in the state's medical marijuana program to use medical marijuana within the health facility, subject to certain parameters. The bill requires that a health facility that allows such use to develop guidelines for the use of medical marijuana and impose restrictions on the possession, usage, and storage, and administration of medical marijuana to ensure the safety of others, safe facility operations, and compliance with other laws.The bill prohibits the department of public health and environment (department) from requiring compliance with the bill as a condition for a health facility to obtain or renew a license or certification that it is required to carry to operate as a health facility. Additionally, the bill prohibits the department from requiring compliance if compliance would result in a violation of state law, a loss of federal funding, noncompliance with the federal medicare or medicaid programs, or noncompliance with accreditation or licensing requirements. Lastly, the bill allows a health facility to suspend compliance with the bill's provisions in the event that, and only as long as, a listed federal entity takes an action that requires the health facility to suspend its compliance with the bill.(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
