HR 1523: Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 46.

This resolution (HR 1523) suspends a procedural rule to allow the conference committee on House Bill 46 to add a specific provision clarifying physician prescribing rules for low-THC cannabis. It directly affects patients and doctors using Texas' Compassionate-Use Program by permitting physicians to prescribe more than one package of low-THC cannabis per 90-day period. The key change adds language to the Occupations Code stating: "A physician may prescribe more than one package in a 90-day period," removing ambiguity about multiple prescriptions. This is a procedural adjustment to HB 46, not a substantive policy change to the main bill.
