The bill amends section 381.986 of the Florida Statutes to establish a reduced fee for medical marijuana identification cards specifically for honorably discharged veterans. The Department of Health is authorized to charge a fee of $15 for the issuance, replacement, or renewal of these identification cards. To qualify for this reduced fee, veterans must provide proof of their 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 that bears the veteran designation.

This legislation aims to support veterans by making access to medical marijuana more affordable through a reduced fee structure. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that veterans can benefit from this provision in the near future.
