Utah's medical cannabis program—covering who can get a card, how cannabis is labeled and delivered, and how dispensaries and their employees operate—would see a wide range of updates under this bill. Among the changes: the deadline for licensing boards to review ownership-change applications for cannabis businesses would extend from 30 to 60 days, labeling rules would be adjusted (including allowing "hash" in product names and giving the state more authority to regulate descriptive terms on labels), and cannabis cultivation facilities would gain more flexibility in remediation methods subject to state rules. The bill would also require (rather than simply allow) the state to revoke registration cards for medical cannabis pharmacy agents and courier agents who violate program rules or are convicted of certain crimes, eliminate an existing continuing-education requirement for pharmacy agents on patient privacy law, allow a medical cannabis guardian card to be issued to the legal guardian of an incapacitated adult (not just minors), and create a new voucher program to help patients afford medical cannabis or related devices. It would also extend the deadline before a working group studying the program's governance structure is automatically dissolved, and remove existing law that lets home-delivery pharmacies accept payments through state-approved electronic payment providers.
