This bill requires doctors evaluating patients for medical cannabis use to conduct their medical assessments in a licensed health care facility, rather than allowing assessments in other locations. The change ensures that the initial patient evaluation—including medical history review and physical examination—happens in an official medical setting to verify the patient's eligibility for medical cannabis cards.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
