- Qualified physicians must conduct an in-person physical examination (physician physically present in the same room as the patient) before issuing an initial medical marijuana certification; subsequent certification renewals and 30-week evaluations may be conducted via telehealth.
- The Department of Health may suspend a qualified physician's registration in the medical marijuana use registry for up to 2 years for failing to comply with the law or for providing, advertising, or marketing telehealth services before July 1, 2023.
