This bill amends the Medical Marijuana Act of April 17, 2016, specifically updating the definition of "serious medical condition" in Section 103. The amendment adds a new provision that allows for a condition to be classified as a serious medical condition if it is deemed so by a practitioner. This insertion broadens the scope of conditions that may qualify for medical marijuana use, providing more flexibility for patients based on individual assessments by their healthcare providers.

In addition to the new insertion, the bill maintains the existing list of serious medical conditions, which includes various diseases and disorders such as cancer, epilepsy, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for the updated definitions to be implemented in the state's medical marijuana program.
