Bill overview
This bill requires the South Dakota Department of Health to accept medical records from a veteran applying for a medical cannabis registry identification card. Specifically, the department must accept records from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, provided they are within three years of the application date and indicate a debilitating medical condition. Veterans must also provide documentation of their military discharge or release under conditions other than dishonorable. This ensures veterans have easier access to the medical cannabis registry.
