A 4366 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "University Hospital Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act"; makes appropriation.

This bill establishes a five-year pilot program at University Hospital to provide medical cannabis treatment to eligible patients (residents already authorized under New Jersey's medical cannabis law) while studying its effectiveness. The program requires University Hospital to create dedicated research areas, form patient and advocacy advisory groups, partner with research institutions, integrate telehealth services, and ensure data privacy. It mandates annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on program outcomes, including recommendations for potential expansion. The initiative is funded through a state appropriation and will conclude after a final evaluation report is submitted.
