This legislative bill amends sections of the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection Act and the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Act to correct an incorrect subdivision reference and to clarify definitions related to cannabis. Specifically, the bill updates the definition of cannabis to include all parts of the cannabis plant while explicitly excluding hemp as defined in section 2-503. The bill also clarifies that the allowable amount of cannabis for patients is up to five ounces and specifies that this amount does not include the weight of other ingredients in cannabis preparations.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original sections of the two initiative laws and declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This swift implementation underscores the urgency of the amendments to ensure clarity and compliance within the state's medical cannabis framework.
