HB 2260 Summary

• Extends the deadline for primary caregiver cannabis cultivation from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024, after which primary caregivers are no longer authorized to grow cannabis for qualifying patients.

• Increases allowable production centers per dispensary license from two to three, and increases plant limits from 3,000 to 5,000 plants per center, with potential increases up to 7,500 plants per center with department approval (maximum 15,000 total plants per licensee).

• Authorizes dispensary-to-dispensary sales of cannabis and manufactured products up to 800 ounces per 30-day period when necessary to ensure patient access or for legitimate purposes approved by the State.

• Redefines "medical cannabis production center" to include multiple structures within the same secured perimeter fence-line, allowing greater operational flexibility.
