PART D

Sec. D-1. 22 MRSA §2423-A, sub-§3, ¶B,  as amended by PL 2013, c. 374, §1, is further amended to read:

B. A primary caregiver who has been designated by a patient to cultivate marijuana for the patient's medical use must keep all plants in an enclosed, locked facility unless the plants are being transported because the primary caregiver is moving or taking the plants to the primary caregiver's own property in order to cultivate them. The primary caregiver shall use a numerical identification system to enable the primary caregiver to identify marijuana plants cultivated for a patient. Access to the cultivation facility is limited to the primary caregiver, except that emergency medical services personnel or a person who needs to gain access to the cultivation facility in order to perform repairs or maintenance or to do construction may access the cultivation facility to provide those professional services while under the direct supervision of the primary caregiver.

Sec. D-2. Effective date. This Part takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the First Regular Session of the 126th Legislature.’

Amend the amendment by relettering or renumbering any nonconsecutive Part letter or section number to read consecutively.

summary

This amendment repeals a word in the law on medical use of marijuana that was erroneously included in the enacted law. The amendment deletes the word "medical" from the phrase "emergency medical services personnel" to achieve the intended result of access to legitimate marijuana cultivation sites for all emergency services personnel.
