Nevada Governor Signs Medical Marijuana Dispensary Bill Into Law

June 13th

CARSON CITY, NV — Thirteen years after 65 percent of Nevada voters approved the medical use of marijuana, patients will soon have legal access to their medicine as Republican Governor Brian Sandoval signed Senate Bill 374 into law Wednesday evening.

The bill, introduced by Las Vegas Democrat Senator Tick Segerblom, establishes the framework for medical marijuana dispensaries to open state wide, while allowing patients to continue growing their own marijuana until 2016.

The bill was passed in the final days of the legislative session, first in the Senate and then the Assembly, following an emergency declaration by lawmakers to push the bill through in the final weekend.

The law will allow up to 40 medical marijuana dispensaries in the Las Vegas area, 20 in Reno, two in Carson City and one in each of Nevada’s remaining rural counties.

During debates on the bill, some lawmakers expressed that while they do not endorse the use of medical marijuana, which was approved by Nevada voters in 2000, they are supporting the bill because it is their responsibility as lawmakers to ensure that the will of . . . . . READ MORE

Nevada Assembly Approves Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

June 3rd

CARSON CITY, NV – The Nevada Assembly voted 28-14 Monday to pass a bill establishing marijuana dispensaries.

The bill was passed last week by the Senate by a 17-4 vote and needed swift action by the Assembly as the legislature adjourns for the 2013 session at midnight.

An amendment to the bill by the Assembly needs final approval from the Senate before the bill is sent to the desk of Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval, who has said he will consider the proposal.

Under  Senate Bill 374, which was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in April, and received a favorable “do pass” recommendation from the  Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, the state Board of Pharmacy would be charged with regulating and overseeing medical marijuana dispensaries across the state.

The bill would allow up to 40 medical marijuana dispensaries in the Las Vegas area, 20 in Reno, two in Carson City and one in each of Nevada’s remaining rural counties.

CARSON CITY, NV – Hoping to clear up some of the legal ambiguity surrounding Nevada’s medical marijuana law, a bill that would expand the state’s existing medical marijuana program to allow for the licensing of non-profit medical marijuana dispensaries has passed a final committee hearing and has advanced to a third reading and vote by the full Senate.

The bill, Senate Bill 374, was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in April, and received a favorable “do pass” recommendation from the  Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday.

The Finance Committee added a key amendment to the bill that will allow the Department of Health and Human Services to receive temporary funding from the State General Fund to pay for the initial costs of implementing the dispensary program until revenue from registration fees are collected and the program becomes self sufficient.

Some state senators have expressed that while they do not endorse the use of medical marijuana, which was approved by Nevada voters in 2000, they are supporting the bill because it is their responsibility as lawmakers to ensure that the will of the voters and the int. . . . . READ MORE
