appropriation; medical marijuana; veterans; fees

HB 4021 allocates $10 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Health Services. This funding specifically covers the issuance and renewal of medical marijuana registry identification cards for veterans of the U.S. armed forces. The bill directly affects eligible Arizona veterans who use medical marijuana and are registered under Arizona law. The appropriation is exempt from standard budget lapse rules, ensuring the funds remain available for this purpose. This is a funding measure, not a policy change to medical marijuana or veteran benefits.
