A Resolution directing the Pennsylvania Department of Health to integrate Application Programming Interface (API) technology as required under section 701(c.1) of the act of April 17, 2016 (P.L.84, No.16), known as the Medical Marijuana Act, to enhance data interoperability and streamline data communication within the Medical Marijuana Program and ensure that all relevant measures are taken to achieve the intended goals of the act.

This resolution directs the Pennsylvania Department of Health to fully integrate Application Programming Interface (API) technology into its Medical Marijuana Program as mandated by existing state law. The bill aims to fix current data communication problems that force medical marijuana businesses to manually enter sales and testing information, a process that is slow and prone to errors. Additionally, the resolution requires the Department of Health to submit a written review of its contract with the current seed-to-sale tracking vendor within 30 days. By resolving these technical issues, the measure seeks to ensure dispensaries can operate smoothly and reliably serve patients without system outages.
