SB 82 clarifies the requirements for doctors to establish a legitimate patient relationship before certifying someone for medical cannabis use in South Dakota. The bill specifies that at an initial visit, a practitioner must complete a medical history assessment and perform an in-person physical examination, and the patient must either be under the practitioner's ongoing care or have been referred by their regular doctor for a qualifying medical condition.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
