The bill proposes the repeal of the medical marijuana oversight committee in South Dakota, specifically targeting sections 34-20G-92, 34-20G-92.1, and 34-20G-93 of the current law. The deleted provisions include the structure and appointment process of the oversight committee, which consisted of various members including legislators, healthcare professionals, and law enforcement representatives. Additionally, the bill removes requirements for the committee to meet biannually to evaluate the medical cannabis program and make recommendations regarding patient access, dispensary effectiveness, regulatory safeguards, and other related matters.

By eliminating the oversight committee, the bill effectively disbands the formal mechanism that was in place to monitor and assess the medical cannabis program in South Dakota. This change may impact the state's ability to gather input from various stakeholders, including patients and healthcare providers, regarding the effectiveness and accessibility of medical cannabis services.
