SB 329 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Department of Health rule relating to Safe Harbor Letter for Medical Cannabis Program

SB 329 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Health to implement a specific legislative rule (64 CSR 113) known as the "Safe Harbor Letter" for the state's Medical Cannabis Program. This rule directly affects medical cannabis program participants and healthcare providers by establishing legal protections against prosecution under certain circumstances. The key mechanism is the Safe Harbor Letter itself, which would shield qualified participants from criminal liability when following program guidelines. The bill is procedural - it does not create new policy but formally authorizes the existing rule filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024.
