SB 1322 Summary

• Redefines "medical use" to include possession, use, or administration of marijuana in smoking form, removing previous restrictions on smoked marijuana.

• Restructures medical marijuana treatment center (MMTC) licensing into separate operating licenses for cultivation, processing, retail (dispensing), and transportation, each requiring distinct applications and facility permits.

• Establishes new registration requirements for MMTCs including a $1 million performance and compliance bond, mandatory registration of all principals, employees, and contractors with issuance of MMTC employee identification cards.

• Removes the requirement that each MMTC produce at least one low-THC cannabis product and eliminates tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) limits for edibles, replacing them with potency variance and safety standards.

• Authorizes licensed MMTCs to deliver marijuana to qualified patients and caregivers statewide; prohibits counties and municipalities from banning such deliveries, though they may prohibit physical dispensary facilities within their jurisdictions.
