Medical Cannabis Patient Access Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2024
This temporary bill clarifies the rules for medical cannabis patients in the District of Columbia by defining "another jurisdiction" to include all U.S. states, territories, and foreign countries. It expands access for non-residents by allowing them to use District-issued cards for dental treatment and other medical needs, while also authorizing the cannabis board to issue patient and caregiver registration cards without a fee. The law is designed to expire automatically after 225 days, ensuring these changes remain in effect only for a limited period.
