This bill amends section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes to establish a reduced fee for medical marijuana use registry identification cards specifically for honorably discharged veterans. The Department of Health is required to charge a fee of $15 for the issuance, replacement, or renewal of these identification cards for qualified patients who are veterans. To qualify for this reduced fee, applicants must provide proof of their veteran status through specific documentation, which includes a DD-214 form, a Department of Veterans Affairs identification card, a Uniformed Services identification card indicating retired status, or a Florida driver license with a veteran designation.

The bill aims to support veterans by making access to medical marijuana more affordable and accessible. It is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing time for the Department of Health to implement the necessary changes to the identification card issuance process.
