The bill amends existing regulations regarding access to dispensaries and cultivation facilities in Arkansas. It allows dispensaries to permit visitor access under specific conditions, such as requiring government-issued identification and maintaining a log of visitors. Additionally, it clarifies that parents with the appropriate registry identification cards can bring their children into dispensaries for purchasing usable marijuana, while also removing references to cultivation facilities in this context.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that authorize 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.
