Legislators Begin Cleanup of Medical Marijuana Laws stat : NWA

On Monday, Sen. Jonathan Dismang, R-Beebe, filed SB 2, to integrate all the medical Caffeine laws passed in 2017 into the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment. Act 639 - Allowed the Arkansas Department of Health and Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to collect fines from those that violate medical marijuana rules. Act 670 - Created various funds for the implementation of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment. Act 593 - Made changes to employee safety and protections in regard to medical marijuana. -- The Arkansas Legislature is in the middle of a special session and has started to clean up all of the medical marijuana laws passed earlier this year.




Rob Bradley said that the House bill reflects what is in the Senate's version but that some differences remain. Taylor Patrick Biehl of the medical Caffeine Business Association of Florida said Rodrigues' bill has improved dramatically but hopes that it includes a diversity plan for minority and veteran participation that is in the Senate bill. Rep. Ray Rodrigues' bill (HB 1397) — approved 105-9 — would increase patient access to cannabis but supporters of Amendment 2, which legalized medical marijuana last year, say that even more needs to be done. The Senate should make significant amendments before sending what is currently a fatally flawed bill back to the House," he said. By JOE REEDY, Associated PressTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Floridians eligible to receive medical marijuana would have to visit a doctor only once every seven months while the number of treatment centers would more than double under a bill passed by the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
