SD HB1053

Terminal care facilities (hospitals, inpatient hospices, residential hospices) must permit patients with terminal conditions (life prognosis of less than one year) to store and use medical cannabis on premises

Cardholders or their designated caregivers must provide a copy of their registry identification card to the facility, and the attending practitioner must document medical cannabis use in medical records

Smoking or vaping medical cannabis is prohibited in terminal care facilities; facilities must establish policies for administration, storage, and use

Facilities are not required to procure or administer medical cannabis to patients, and the requirement does not apply to patients in hospital emergency departments

Terminal care facilities are exempt from compliance if federal agencies initiate enforcement action or issue rules expressly prohibiting medical cannabis use in the facility
