Relating to certification of a patient’s eligibility for medical cannabis
HB 5092 clarifies definitions and eligibility rules for West Virginia's medical cannabis program. It revises the definition of "patient" to require a serious medical condition, meeting certification requirements, and state residency, while updating terms like "certified medical use" and "caregiver." The bill focuses on standardizing terminology in existing law rather than changing who qualifies for medical cannabis. It does not establish new eligibility criteria or alter access for current patients. This definitional update aims to improve consistency in how the program's rules are applied.
