This bill amends existing laws regarding access to dispensaries and cultivation facilities in Arkansas. It allows dispensaries to permit visitor access to restricted areas under specific conditions, such as requiring government-issued identification and maintaining a log book of visitors. Additionally, it clarifies that parents with registry identification cards can bring their children into dispensaries for purchasing usable marijuana, while also allowing parents without such cards to accompany their children who do have them.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for dispensaries to deliver usable marijuana to qualified patients or designated caregivers either via delivery vehicles or through drive-through windows. Deliveries must occur on the date the order is processed and require a delivery manifest. The bill outlines security measures for delivery vehicles and specifies that drive-through deliveries must be made to patients with pre-submitted online orders, ensuring that all transactions are secure and compliant with identification verification protocols.
