HB 1766 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 2, 1915 (P.L.736, No.338), known as the Workers' Compensation Act, in liability and compensation, further providing for schedule of compensation.

HB 1766 amends Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Act to require employers to reimburse qualifying patients for medical marijuana costs under the state's Medical Marijuana Act. It mandates dollar-for-dollar reimbursement for eligible medical marijuana purchases, capped at $250 per month or $3,000 annually, with patients covering costs exceeding $250 monthly. Employers must establish a system for quarterly reimbursements and cover identification card fees for patients. This directly affects workers certified to use medical marijuana under Pennsylvania law who receive workers' compensation benefits. The provision applies specifically to reimbursement through workers' compensation claims, not to changes in medical marijuana eligibility or access.
