Medical Cannabis Patient Card Extension and 4/20 Medical Cannabis Sales Tax Holiday Week Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to keep existing medical cannabis rules in effect while a longer-term version of the law undergoes a required 30-day review period. It directly affects registered medical cannabis patients and caregivers by extending the validity of their identification cards from two years to six years and requiring them to surrender cards if they no longer need the medication. The measure also establishes a tax holiday week for medical cannabis sales on April 20, 2024, and authorizes regulators to immediately shut down unlicensed retailers.
