Compassionate Access to Medical Cannabis Act; create to allow terminally ill to use in hospitals.

HB 1034, the "Compassionate Access to Medical Cannabis Act" (or "Ryan's Law"), allows terminally ill patients in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and hospice care to use medical cannabis under specific rules. It requires facilities to permit use (prohibiting smoking/vaping), mandate secure storage in locked containers within the patient’s room, and place responsibility for acquiring, administering, and removing cannabis solely on the patient or their designated caregiver. Health care staff cannot administer or retrieve cannabis, and facilities must not deny admission based on medical cannabis use. The bill does not apply to emergency departments or chemical dependency hospitals and includes provisions for federal compliance but does not alter existing federal scheduling of cannabis.
