HF 995 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the issuance of a medical cannabidiol registration card to a person who is not a resident of Iowa.

House File 995 amends Iowa's medical cannabidiol laws. This bill removes the current requirement that an individual must be a resident of Iowa to receive a medical cannabidiol registration card. It achieves this by striking specific code sections that mandate Iowa residency and by removing the word "Iowa" from references to a patient's residence address when applying for the card. As a result, non-residents of Iowa would become eligible to obtain a medical cannabidiol registration card in the state.
