The enrolled text requires organizations and residential facilities designated as medical marijuana caregivers to create written policies and provide staff training, exempts hospitals and hospital-affiliated clinics from those requirements, and prohibits the Oregon State Board of Nursing from disciplining nurses for discussing medical marijuana with patients. Facilities and their employees and contractors receive protection from certain criminal liability when complying with the law.
What this may mean
