SR 718 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 46.

This resolution (SR 718) suspends a Senate rule to allow a conference committee to add a specific provision to House Bill 46, which relates to Texas's low-THC cannabis program. It directly affects physicians and patients using the Compassionate-Use Program by permitting doctors to prescribe more than one package of low-THC cannabis per 90-day period. The key mechanism is adding a new subsection (169.003(c) to the Occupations Code) to clarify this prescribing practice. The change resolves ambiguity about existing program rules, not creating new restrictions.
