RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia lawmakers continue to fine tune legislation that aligns with the state’s growing medical cannabis program by advancing two Senate bills that would facilitate the work of caregivers and lab employees.
The bill sponsored by Henrico Republican Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant would allow employees at nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospices to administer CBD and THC-A oil to residents who have a valid written certification to use the medication.
The bill from Democratic Sen. David W. Marsden of Fairfax would remove criminal liabilities for analytical lab workers who transport and possess both substances during the course of their work.
