This bill amends the licensure process for medical cannabidiol dispensaries in Iowa. It changes the procedure from issuing a request for proposals to accepting applications for the selection and licensing of up to ten dispensaries, increasing the previous limit of five. Additionally, the bill stipulates that a licensee may hold a maximum of three dispensary licenses, ensuring a broader distribution of medical cannabidiol across the state.

Furthermore, the bill removes the requirement for dispensaries to begin supplying medical cannabidiol by December 1, 2018, allowing for more flexibility in the timeline for dispensary operations. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the accessibility and availability of medical cannabidiol in Iowa.
