Florida lawmakers have approved House Bill 555, which aims to enhance access to medical marijuana for veterans by waiving card registration and renewal fees. Sponsored by Rep. Alex Andrade, this bipartisan bill received a unanimous 21-0 vote from the House Health and Human Services Committee. Although broader provisions were initially included, the final legislation focuses on two primary reforms: fee waivers for qualifying veterans and extending the medical marijuana card validity from one year to two, providing significant relief for many patients, notably veterans scheduled to start on July 1.
