The bill amends section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes regarding the medical marijuana use registry identification cards. It mandates that these identification cards must be renewed biennially instead of annually. Additionally, the bill prohibits the Department of Health from charging any fees for the issuance, replacement, or renewal of identification cards for honorably discharged veterans, provided that the veteran's DD-214 form is included with the application.

The bill also outlines specific requirements for the identification cards, which must include personal details of the qualified patient or caregiver, a recent photograph, and a unique numeric identifier. The changes aim to streamline the process for veterans and ensure that the identification cards are secure against counterfeiting and tampering. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
