Clearpol's Opinion of this Guidance as of 01/17/2024
Chaptering of SB 302, permitting medical cannabis use by residents over the age of 65 with a chronic disease in a SNF. If these residents have received a physician's assessment declaring that they have a serious medical condition, as defined by Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 11362.7 (h), that the use of medicinal cannabis is appropriate, then they must be allowed use of medicinal cannabis by a SNF. The resident must provide the SNF a copy of their medical marijuana card or written documentation of the physician's assessment and recommendation.
SB 392 requires SNFs to:
· Train their staff regarding the facility’s written use and disposal guidelines for medical cannabis.
· Ensure that a resident is not denied admission, in whole or in part, because of their use of medical cannabis
· Suspend compliance with the Act to include a federal regulatory agency, the US DOJ, or CMS making an inquire about the SNF’s activities under the Act, or the federal regulatory agency or US DOJ issuing a notice to suspend funding.
