PA HB2254

Requires health care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living residences, and personal care homes to permit terminally ill patients with valid medical marijuana cards to use or be administered medical marijuana on-site

Facilities must develop written guidelines within 180 days covering storage in locked containers, permitted forms of marijuana (no vaporizing), documentation procedures, and safety restrictions for other patients and staff

Imposes civil penalties up to $500 per day per violation for facilities that fail to comply with the new requirements, with collected penalties deposited into the Medical Marijuana Program Fund

Department of Health must publish sample implementation guidelines on its website and host at least five educational sessions within 60 days to train facilities on verifying patient credentials and legal marijuana products

Facilities may suspend compliance if federal agencies initiate enforcement action or issue rules expressly prohibiting medical marijuana use in facilities, but cannot deny access solely because cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under federal law
