Medical Cannabis Patient Access Clarification Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to keep a temporary law in effect until permanent legislation is passed, ensuring medical cannabis patients and caregivers can continue accessing registration services without interruption. It specifically directs the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board to issue patient and caregiver registration cards at no cost and clarifies the definitions of "non-District resident" and "another jurisdiction." By allowing the resolution to pass after a single reading, the Council ensures these critical provisions remain active immediately through the end of September 2024.
