The bill is still missing PTSD, chronic intractable pain, and the need for 1% or greater THC concentration.

House Bill 3703 with committee substitute was placed on the Senate intent calendar for May 21st on the evening of May 20 2019. The fact that this bill had it’s committee report distributed Monday only goes the show that the bill is being regarded as somewhat of a priority because of its location in time during the current legislative session. This is because the committee report doesn’t have to be delivered for up to 3 session days, and Saturdays do not count towards the clock unless there is a session taking place, and Sundays never count towards the clock at all (the senate held session Sunday May 19,2019).
