HB1889

House Bill 1889 amends Arkansas law regarding the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities. It establishes new requirements for allowing visitors into restricted areas, ensuring they are not minors and are escorted by authorized personnel. The bill explicitly allows parents or guardians with registry identification cards to bring minors into facilities for the purpose of purchasing usable marijuana. Furthermore, it authorizes dispensaries to conduct deliveries of usable marijuana to patients or caregivers at residential addresses using a delivery vehicle. The bill also permits dispensaries to fulfill pre-ordered medical marijuana purchases through drive-through windows. It sets specific security and operational standards for these delivery methods, including requirements for manifest documentation, identity verification, and vehicle security measures.
