HF 2086: Requiring the state medical director to provide a written certification to certain patients applying for a medical cannabidiol registration card

What it does

This bill relates to written certifications of a debilitating medical condition necessary to participate in the Iowa medical cannabidiol program. The bill requires the Iowa department of public health to adopt rules by January 1, 2021, to establish a process for a patient who has been denied a written certification of a debilitating medical condition by a health care practitioner to receive a written certification from the state medical director. The rules shall require the patient to submit the patient’s medical records to the state medical director and the state medical director to issue a written certification if the state medical director determines that the patient suffers from a debilitating medical condition, may benefit from the use of medical cannabidiol, and has been denied a written certification by a health care practitioner.
