CT HB07135

Initial medical marijuana certifications issued on or after October 1, 2019, are valid for thirteen months instead of one year, while subsequent certifications remain valid for one year.

Qualifying patients and primary caregivers must register with the Department of Consumer Protection, with registration effective from issuance until the written certification expires.

The Department of Consumer Protection shall provide qualifying patients an opportunity to identify themselves as veterans during the registration process.

Registration certificates may be issued to both the qualifying patient and primary caregiver, with a maximum fee of twenty-five dollars per certificate.

All registration fees collected are paid to the State Treasurer and credited to the General Fund; changes to identifying information must be reported within five business days.
