This bill clarifies four things that South Dakota is not required to do regarding medical cannabis: government health programs and private insurers don't have to pay for cannabis, property owners don't have to let visitors smoke or vape cannabis on their property, landlords don't have to allow cannabis growing in rental units, and government buildings can prohibit cannabis use even where it's otherwise legal. The bill adds the last requirement (about government buildings) to existing law that already listed the first three.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
