HF 990 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the issuance of medical cannabidiol registration cards and licensure of medical cannabidiol dispensaries.

HF 990 establishes a licensing process for medical cannabidiol (CBD) dispensaries in Iowa. The bill requires the state department to issue requests for proposals and license up to five dispensaries (with potential for up to ten) by April 1, 2018, and renew licenses by December 1 each year. It directly affects businesses seeking to operate medical CBD dispensaries by setting caps on the number of licenses and defining the application timeline. The key provision is the structured annual licensing system to regulate the distribution of medical CBD products within the state.

TECHNICAL

The year referenced in the statute citations was changed from 2026 to 2025 to reflect the correct current legislative year.

Header information was added to identify the document as a reprint by the Ways and Means Committee and to note it as a successor to HSB 224.

The original 'Enrolled' certification block, including signatures from the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor, was removed as this is a reprint of the bill text rather than the final enacted law.
