SB 1768 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Health Care - As introduced, requires the secretary of state to place an advisory ballot question on the November general election ballot in 2026 regarding the legalization of a regulated medical cannabis program. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 4; Title 39; Title 43; Title 53; Title 57; Title 63; Title 67 and Title 68.

SB 1768 requires Tennessee's Secretary of State to place an advisory ballot question on the 2026 November general election ballot asking voters if the state should authorize a regulated medical cannabis program for qualifying patients. If approved, the program would generate tax revenue dedicated to after-school programs, mental health services, law enforcement training, and community cannabis education. The bill does not create the program itself but seeks voter approval for its implementation through a binding referendum. This would directly affect medical cannabis patients and state funding allocations, with no immediate legislative changes enacted.
