HB 5016

Abstract

Amends the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. Removes the fingerprinting and background check requirements for a prospective qualifying patient or designated caregiver. Provides that each applicant for a registry identification card shall sign an affidavit stating that the applicant has not been convicted of violation of a state or federal controlled substance law, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine and Community Protection Act that was classified as a felony in the jurisdiction where the person was convicted. Provides that an applicant may sign the affidavit if the applicant was convicted of a felony under the Cannabis Control Act, but the crime that the applicant was convicted of under the Cannabis Control Act is not considered a felony at the time the affidavit is signed.
