Terminal care facilities (nursing homes and hospice centers) must now allow terminally ill patients to use medical cannabis, rather than being able to ban it entirely. Facilities can still set rules about where and how patients use it and are not required to store or provide the cannabis themselves. The bill also protects facility employees from legal trouble or job discipline for handling medical cannabis while caring for these patients.
