AI Summary
- Creates the Joint Study Committee on THC Medical Oil Access to examine how Georgia patients can obtain in-state access to medical cannabis oil, which was legalized for select patients in 2016 but remains unavailable for purchase due to federal restrictions on interstate distribution.
- The committee comprises 10 members: 3 senators and 2 citizens appointed by the President of the Senate, and 3 House members and 2 citizens appointed by the Speaker, with one legislative member from each chamber designated as cochairperson.
- Study scope includes security and control of the full process from seed acquisition to plant destruction, quality control of manufacturing (labeling, purity/safety testing), and all aspects of dispensing (staff competency, dosing training, delivery methods).
- The committee must develop findings on security safeguards, licensee qualification systems, and a plan to ensure THC oil is available statewide at affordable prices to registered patients and caregivers.
- The committee is set to stand abolished on December 31, 2018, and must file any approved report with the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House prior to that date.
