AI Summary

  • Terminates the Medical Marijuana Act Oversight Committee, a 9-member body established to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the state's medical marijuana program

  • Transfers authority for approving cannabidiol-rich (CBD-rich) marijuana strain profiles and medical marijuana oil formulation changes solely to the Department of Health and Social Services, removing the Oversight Committee's advisory role

  • Follows a review by the Joint Legislative Oversight and Sunset Committee (JLOSC), which found the Oversight Committee made only 2 recommendations to the Office of Medical Marijuana since October 15, 2015, and no recommendations to the Governor or General Assembly

  • The Office of Medical Marijuana will continue operating the medical marijuana program without the Committee's support, as JLOSC determined the Committee is not meeting a public need
