The bill amends the licensure process for medical cannabidiol dispensaries in Iowa. Specifically, it changes the requirement for the Department to issue a request for proposals and instead accept applications for the selection and licensing of up to ten medical cannabidiol dispensaries, increasing the previous limit of five. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department must license new dispensaries or relicense existing ones by December 1 of each year. Furthermore, the bill removes Section 124E.8, subsection 2, entirely, which may have contained previous regulations or requirements related to the dispensary licensing process. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the application process and expand the number of licensed medical cannabidiol dispensaries in the state.
