What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill establishes a licensure program administered by the Department of

Safety and Professional Services for producers of cannabidiol. Under the bill, a

person may possess tetrahydrocannabinols to produce CBD oil, and may produce

CBD oil and deliver it, only if the person is licensed by DSPS and only if the CBD oil

is produced in a form without a psychoactive effect for the treatment of a medical

condition.

The bill also makes certain changes to the requirements for possessing CBD oil

and dispensing it to patients. Current law designates THC as a schedule I controlled

substance and defines THC to exclude CBD oil in a form without a psychoactive effect

that is dispensed by a pharmacy or physician approved by the Controlled Substances

Board to treat a seizure disorder or that is possessed by a person with documentation

from a physician that the CBD oil is to treat a seizure disorder. Under the bill, THC

does not include CBD oil in a form without a psychoactive effect without regard to

who dispenses it or possesses it. The bill also specifies that any person may possess

CBD oil to treat a medical condition and that any pharmacy or physician may

dispense CBD oil to treat a medical condition.
