This bill makes several updates to Kentucky's existing medicinal cannabis law. It changes how the state oversees medicinal cannabis businesses and patients, including requiring a new electronic tracking system that connects with Kentucky's existing prescription drug monitoring program, known as KASPER. It also clarifies which court handles legal disputes over medicinal cannabis licenses and authorizations, and adds tax compliance requirements for cannabis business license holders. Who it may affect: Kentuckians enrolled in the medicinal cannabis program, medicinal cannabis business owners and license applicants, and state agencies that oversee cannabis regulation and taxation.
