A new bill designed to provide for a “tightly regulated system” of medical cannabis was introduced Friday morning in the Idaho House of Representatives.
House Health and Welfare Committee Chairman John Vander Woude (R) introduced House Bill 370, the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act, as a personal bill on the floor of the Idaho House on Friday morning.
Vander Woude took the unusual step of introducing the bill as a personal bill rather than following the more traditional practice of bringing a draft bill to a legislative committee for an introductory hearing.
In practice, personal bills typically do not advance—because they circumvent the committee process—and are often introduced to start a discussion and lay the groundwork for future policy discussions.
