Health Care - As introduced, requires the secretary of state to place an advisory ballot question on the November general election ballot in 2026 regarding the legalization of a regulated medical cannabis program. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 4; Title 39; Title 43; Title 53; Title 57; Title 63; Title 67 and Title 68.
HB 1774 requires Tennessee's Secretary of State to place an advisory ballot question on the November 2026 general election ballot asking voters if the state should authorize a regulated medical cannabis program. If approved, the program would allow medical cannabis use for qualifying patients, with tax revenue dedicated to after-school programs, mental health services, law enforcement training, and community education. The bill does not create the program itself but seeks voter approval through an advisory referendum. It directly affects all Tennessee voters in the 2026 election and would determine whether a future regulated medical cannabis system is implemented.
