On April 15, the Florida House Health and Human Services Committee voted unanimously to advance H555 to the full House of Representatives. The committee
heavily amended the original version of this legislation first. The amended bill would make a medical card valid for two years instead of the current one year. It would also waive registration fees for honorably discharged veterans. While several cannabis policy reforms have been proposed this legislative session in
Florida, so far no other bills have advanced. It’s disappointing lawmakers are failing to honor the will of most voters, just months after 56% of voters voted YES on Amendment 3, which would have legalized cannabis for adults had it reached 60%.
Meanwhile,Smart and Safe Florida has begun to gather signatures for a potential ballot initiative to legalize cannabis in 2026. With the legislature appearing to be moving on legislation to significantly limit access to consumable hemp products
and failing to advance significant cannabis policy reforms, we are not hopeful for any additional changes this year.
Please let your legislators know you support the incremental
steps H555 provides.
