RIGL Chapter 21-28.6
Purpose and Reason:
On 4 October 2013 the Department of Health posted a public notice regarding its announcement that any application for registration in the Medical Marijuana Program received by the Department of Health after August 7, 2012 must contain a “written certification” from a licensed physician (M.D. or D.O), and not by a licensed nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. The Department of Health has reviewed all comments received in regards to this notice and has determined that no amendments are required to the Rules and Regulations Related to the Medical Marijuana Program. Consequently, the Department is refiling these regulations unchanged to document this determination.
