12. SB 1104 (002974) by *Bowling(HB 1441 by *Rudder)
Health Care - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Medical Cannabis Act," which establishes a medical
cannabis program to be administered by the medical cannabis commission. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 38,
Chapter 3; Title 39, Chapter 17; Title 43; Title 50; Title 53; Title 63; Title 67 and Title 68.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:
SB 1104 by Bowling
The bill creates a framework to authorize access to medical cannabis on a regulated basis for patients
with qualifying medical conditions. Patients would also need to submit certification from a healthcare
provider showing proof of their qualifying condition, complete an application form and pay an
application fee, and provide proof of Tennessee residency. Patients would also be able to designate a
caregiver to assist with the purchase and use of the medical cannabis. The patient registry system
would be accessible by the Department of Agriculture and law enforcement agencies for compliance
and enforcement purposes.
The bill also creates a framework for licenses and regulates the processes for cultivating, producing,
distributing, transporting, selling, and acquiring cannabis for medical use and research. Managed
medical wellness phase 1 licenses are the first run of licenses that will be issued provisionally before
rulemaking is complete. The bill categorizes provisional managed medical wellness phase 1 licenses
as urban omni licenses and rural vertically integrated (RUVI) licenses, and each category of license
would be subject to numerous requirements. A 9% sales tax would be levied on medical cannabis
products. 5% of the total collected taxes would go to the POST Commission for drug enforcement
training, 30% would go to the Department of Agriculture for development programs and grants, 45%
would go to the medical cannabis fund, and the final 10% would go to the Department of Veterans
Services for PTSD treatment programs.

13. SB 0378 (001792) by *Briggs(HB 0403 by *Lamberth)
Consumer Protection - As introduced, regulates the production and sale of hemp-derived cannabinoids,
including products known as delta-8 and delta-10. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 38; Title 39, Chapter 15,
Part 4; Title 39, Chapter 17; Title 43, Chapter 27; Title 53; Title 67 and Title 68, Chapter 7.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:
SB 378 by Briggs
The bill provides for the manufacturing and selling of products containing hemp-derived
cannabinoids after obtaining a license from the Department of Agriculture. A 5% tax would be levied
on the sale of these products, and they would also need to be labelled with safety warnings.
Manufacturers would need to contact with a third-party lab to test their products for hazardous
materials.
The manufacture or sale of these products without a license, sale or distribution of products to people
under 21, or the distribution of samples in a public area would all be a Class A misdemeanor.
The bill does not require an employer or establishment to accommodate or admit an employee or
customer to use hemp-derived cannabinoids on their property, and it also does not exempt people
from prosecution for impairment or intoxication resulting from the use of these cannabinoids.

17. SB 1072 (001221) by *Yarbro(HB 0309 by *Chism)
Controlled Substances - As introduced, decriminalizes the possession of certain amounts of marijuana by
making such possession a civil violation punishable by a $25 fine or community service; makes other related
changes. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 4.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:
SB 1072 by Yarbro
The bill decriminalizes possession of small amounts of marijuana and marijuana-derived products,
making it a civil violation punishable by a $25 fine or community service. The odor of marijuana is
also no longer enough to support a stop or search of a person or motor vehicle.
Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the bill also states that a person’s bail, probation, or
extended sentence cannot be revoked due to the presence of marijuana metabolites in a drug test. The
presence of these metabolites also cannot be used by a governmental entity to take adverse action
against an employee, nor can it be used to deny public assistance such as Tanf, SNAP, Medicaid, and
other welfare programs.

Fiscal Summary:
Increase State Expenditures
   ·   $100,000/FY23-24
   ·   $30,000/FY24-25 and Subsequent Years

18. SB 1461 (000497) by *Lamar(HB 0172 by *Chism)
Health Care - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Medical Cannabis Act." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 39,
Chapter 17, Part 4; Title 67 and Title 68, Chapter 7.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:
SB 1461 by Lamar
The bill establishes a program for patients with qualifying medical conditions to apply for a registry
identification card that will permit them to use marijuana. Nonresident cardholders may also possess
and use cannabis within Tennessee. Though the bill lists out a set number of qualifying medical
conditions, a resident may petition the Department of Health to add new conditions.
Cardholders would only be able to obtain or possess 2.5 ounces of cannabis, cannabis products
containing no more that 2,000 milligrams of THC, or six cannabis plants at a time. Medical cannabis
establishments would be subject to application and regulatory requirements.
The bill does not authorize people to smoke cannabis on public transport, on school grounds, or in a
public place, or while operating a motor vehicle so long as the concentration of cannabis metabolites
is sufficient enough to cause impairment. Cannabis could also not be possessed in a correctional
facility unless the facility elects to allow a cardholder to use medical cannabis. Local governments
would be able to enact ordinances and regulations on cannabis establishments so long as they do not
conflict with this bill.

Other Fiscal Impact
To the extent that Medical Cannabis Establishments will claim tax deductions equal to all ordinary
and necessary expenses incurred, and reduce state revenue is unknown and cannot be determined
with reasonable certainty. The Department of Health will need additional resources including, but not
limited to, employing additional staff. The extent and timing of the needed resources will be
dependent on the promulgation of rules and the growth of the program and cannot be reasonably
quantified at this time. Any additional expenditures incurred will be covered through the revenue
collected in the General Fund.

Amends TCA Title 24, Chapter 7 and Title 37.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:
Amendment #003924

meet to be admissible. It outlines that a court must make a statement on the reasoning behind the
acceptance or denial of a recording, and also clarifies these recordings are not public records.

Fiscal Summary: NOT SIGNIFICANT

SB 419 by Haile
The bill expands the admissibility of video recordings of forensic interviews which contain statements
by children. Current law requires that the children be under 13 years of age, and the bill extends this
to children under 18 years of age. The bill also expands the law to cover statements on sexual, abusive,
and violent acts, rather than just sexual acts.
Recordings are clarified to be admissible at any stage of a criminal or juvenile court proceeding. A
new qualification for admissibility of evidence – that the interviewer has been supervised by an
experienced forensic interviewer for at least 20 interviews – is added to the existing list of
qualifications.

such restitution to a civil judgement at any time by properly filing the restitution order with the
appropriate civil court.
The bill also allows for maintenance payments to be ordered even if a parent or guardian received a
judgement in a civil suit before the payments were ordered, provided that the total amount of the
maintenance payments is offset by the amount of damages received in a civil suit. This same offset
applies if the civil suit is brought after payments are ordered.

years.
