Medical Cannabis Patient Access Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to ensure that medical cannabis patient registration cards continue to be issued at no cost while waiting for permanent laws to be finalized. It specifically addresses the need to define terms like "non-District resident" and extends the authority of the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board to issue these cards without interruption. The measure allows the Council to adopt related emergency legislation after a single reading, ensuring that existing rules remain in effect until the full legislative review process is complete.
