HB 238 -- MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARDS

SPONSOR: Schroer

COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Downsizing State Government by a vote of 9 to 0.

This bill creates a class E felony when a state agency discloses the statewide list of persons who have obtained a medical marijuana card to the federal government.

PROPONENTS: Supporters say that this bill will prevent state government from sharing medical marijuana user or registry information with the federal government, since this is still illegal on the federal level.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Schroer.

OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
