The bill
mandates that

permits
a health facility
to
allow patients who are terminally ill and who are registered in the state's medical marijuana program to use medical marijuana within the health facility, subject to certain parameters. The bill requires
that
a health facility
that allows such use to
develop guidelines for
the use of medical marijuana
and impose restrictions on the
possession,
usage,
and
storage,
and administration
of medical marijuana to ensure the safety of others, safe facility operations, and compliance with other laws.
The bill prohibits the department of public health and environment
(department)
from requiring compliance with the bill as a condition for a health facility to obtain or renew a license or certification that it is required to carry to operate as a health facility.
Additionally, the bill prohibits the department from requiring compliance if compliance would result in a violation of state law, a loss of federal funding, noncompliance with the federal medicare or medicaid programs, or noncompliance with accreditation or licensing requirements.
Lastly, the bill allows a health facility to suspend compliance with the bill's provisions in the event that, and only as long as, a listed federal entity takes an action that requires the health facility to suspend its compliance with the bill.
