requirements and that prevents the unauthorized release of private data on
individuals as defined by section 13.02;
(6) develop safety criteria for
patients with a qualifying condition as a requirement of the patient's
participation in the program, to prevent the patient from undertaking any task
under the influence of medical cannabis that would constitute negligence or
professional malpractice on the part of the patient; and
(7) conduct research and studies based
on data from health records submitted to the registry program and submit
reports on intermediate or final research results to the legislature and major scientific
journals. The commissioner may contract
with a third party to complete the requirements of this clause.
(c) The commissioner shall develop a
patient application for enrollment into the registry program. The application shall be available to the
patient and given to health care practitioners in the state who are eligible to
serve as a health care practitioner as defined under subdivision 1, paragraph

(5) all other signed affidavits and
enrollment forms required by the commissioner under this section, including,
but not limited to, the disclosure under paragraph (e).
(d) The commissioner shall register a
single designated caregiver for a patient if the patient's health care provider
certified that the patient, in the health care practitioner's medical opinion,
is developmentally or physically disabled and, as a result of that disability,
the patient is unable to self-administer medication and the caregiver has agreed,
in writing, to be a patient's designated caregiver. As a condition of registration as a

under subdivision 1, paragraph (m), the commissioner shall notify the
legislature by January 15 of any year in which the commissioner wishes to make
the change. The change shall be
effective on August 1 of that year, unless the legislature by law provides
otherwise. As part of the January
submission, the commissioner shall notify the chairs and ranking minority
members of the legislative policy committees having jurisdiction over health
and public safety of the addition and the reasons for its addition, including
any written comments received by the commissioner from the public and any
guidance received from the task force on medical cannabis research.
(l) Nothing in this section requires
the medical assistance and MinnesotaCare programs to reimburse an enrollee or a
provider for costs associated with the medical use of cannabis. Medical assistance and MinnesotaCare shall
continue to reimburse providers for covered services related to treatment of a
recipient's qualifying medical condition.
(m) The establishment of the registry
program is not intended in any manner whatsoever to condone or promote the
illicit recreational use of marijuana.
Subd. 7. Health
care practitioner duties. (a)
Prior to a patient's enrollment in the registry program, a health care

patient throughout the ongoing treatment of the patient to the commissioner in
a manner determined by the commissioner of health and in accordance with
paragraph (c); and
(3) otherwise comply with all
requirements developed by the commissioner.
(c)
Data collected on patients by a health care practitioner and reported to the
patient registry are health records under section 144.291 and are private data
on individuals under section 13.02 but may be used or reported in an
aggregated, nonidentifiable form as part of a scientific, peer-reviewed
publication of research conducted under this section.

(3) assign a tracking number to each
individual medical cannabis product;

commissioner may not be used for any purpose not provided for in this section
and may not be combined or linked in any manner with any other list or

Subd. 11. Protections
for registry program participation; criminal and civil. (a) There is a presumption that a
patient enrolled in the registry program under this section is engaged in the
authorized use of medical cannabis.

purpose of treating or alleviating the patient's qualifying medical condition
or symptoms associated with the patient's qualifying medical condition pursuant
to this section.

only, the following are not violations under this chapter:
(1) use or possession of medical
cannabis products by a patient enrolled in the registry program, or possession

professional licensing board for sanctioning actions outside of those actions
allowed under this section.

Subd. 12. Discrimination
prohibited. (a) No school or
landlord may refuse to enroll or lease to and may not otherwise penalize a
person solely for the person's status as a patient enrolled in the registry
program under this section, unless failing to do so would violate federal law
or regulations or cause the school or landlord to lose a monetary or
licensing-related benefit under federal law or regulations.
(b) For the purposes of medical care,
including organ transplants, a registry program enrollee's use of medical
cannabis under this section is considered the equivalent of the authorized use
of any other medication used at the discretion of a physician and does not
constitute the use of an illicit substance or otherwise disqualify a qualifying
patient from needed medical care.
(c) Unless a failure to do so would
violate federal law or regulations or cause an employer to lose a monetary or
licensing-related benefit under federal law or regulations, an employer may not
discriminate against a person in hiring, termination, or any term or condition
of employment, or otherwise penalize a person, if the discrimination is based
upon either of the following:
(1) the person's status as a patient
enrolled in the registry program under this section; or

cannabis components or metabolites, unless the patient used, possessed, or was
impaired by medical cannabis on the premises of the place of employment or
during the hours of employment.

of or visitation rights or parenting time with a minor solely for the person's
status as a patient enrolled in the registry program under this section, and

allowed under this section, unless the person's behavior is such that it
creates an unreasonable danger to the safety of the minor as established by

the fee shall be $50. The fees shall be
payable annually and are due on the anniversary date of the patient's
enrollment. The fee amount shall be
deposited in the medical cannabis registry account in the state treasury and
credited to the state government special revenue fund.
(b) The medical cannabis manufacturer
may charge patients enrolled in the registry program a reasonable fee for costs
associated with the operations of the manufacturer. The manufacturer may charge fees associated
with the delivery of medical cannabis pursuant to subdivision 8, paragraph (i),
but shall only charge the fee to those patients who received the delivery
service. The manufacturer may establish
a sliding scale of patient fees based upon a qualifying patient's household
income and may accept private donations to reduce patient fees.
Subd. 14. Nursing
facilities. Nursing
facilities licensed under chapter 144A, or boarding care homes licensed under
section 144.50, may adopt reasonable restrictions on the use of medical
cannabis by persons receiving services. The
restrictions may include a provision that the facility will not store or
maintain the patient's supply of medical cannabis, that the facility is not
responsible for providing the medical cannabis for qualifying patients, and
that medical cannabis be consumed only in a place specified by the facility. Nothing contained in this section shall
require the facilities to adopt such restrictions, and no facility shall
unreasonably limit a qualifying patient's access to or use of medical cannabis.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 256B.0625, subdivision 13d, is amended to read:

pursuant to section 1927 of title XIX of the Social Security Act.;
and
(7) medical cannabis as defined under
section 152.22.
(c) If a single-source drug used by at least two percent of the fee-for-service medical assistance recipients is removed from the formulary due to the failure of the manufacturer to sign a rebate agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services, the commissioner shall notify prescribing practitioners within 30 days of receiving notification from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that a rebate agreement was not signed.

for which the account may be spent. The
commissioner shall use the fund for the payment of per diem salaries and

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 144E.101, subdivision 6, is amended to read:
Subd. 6. Basic life support. (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (e) and (f), a basic life-support ambulance shall be staffed by at least two EMTs, one of whom must accompany the patient and provide a level of care so as to ensure that:
(1) life-threatening situations and potentially serious injuries are recognized;
(2) patients are protected from additional hazards;
(3) basic treatment to reduce the seriousness of emergency situations is administered; and
(4) patients are transported to an appropriate medical facility for treatment.
(b) A basic life-support service shall provide basic airway management.
(c) A basic life-support service shall provide automatic defibrillation.
(d) A basic life-support service licensee's medical director may authorize ambulance service personnel to perform intravenous infusion and use equipment that is within the licensure level of the ambulance service, including administration of an opiate antagonist. Ambulance service personnel must be properly trained. Documentation of authorization for use, guidelines for use, continuing education, and skill verification must be maintained in the licensee's files.
(e) Upon application from an ambulance service that includes evidence demonstrating hardship, the board may grant a variance from the staff requirements in paragraph (a) and may authorize a basic life-support ambulance to be staffed by one EMT and one registered emergency medical responder driver for all emergency ambulance calls and interfacility transfers. The variance shall apply to basic life-support ambulances operated by the ambulance service until the ambulance service renews its license. When a variance expires, an ambulance service may apply for a new variance under this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph, "ambulance service" means either an ambulance service whose primary service area is mainly located outside the metropolitan counties listed in section 473.121, subdivision 4, and outside the cities of Duluth, Mankato, Moorhead, Rochester, and St. Cloud; or an ambulance service based in a community with a population of less than 1,000.
(f) After an initial emergency ambulance call, each subsequent emergency ambulance response, until the initial ambulance is again available, and interfacility transfers, may be staffed by one registered emergency medical responder driver and an EMT. The EMT must accompany the patient and provide the level of care required in paragraph (a). This paragraph applies only to an ambulance service whose primary service area is mainly located outside the metropolitan counties listed in section 473.121, subdivision 4, and outside the cities of Duluth, Mankato, Moorhead, Rochester, and St. Cloud, or an ambulance based in a community with a population of less than 1,000 persons."

GOOD SAMARITAN OVERDOSE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
Subdivision 1. Person
seeking medical assistance; immunity from prosecution. A person acting in good faith who
seeks medical assistance for another person who is experiencing a drug-related
overdose may not be charged or prosecuted for the possession, sharing, or use
of a controlled substance under sections 152.023, subdivision 2, clauses (4)
and (6), 152.024, or 152.025, or possession of drug paraphernalia. A person qualifies for the immunities provided
in this subdivision only if:
(1) the evidence for the charge or
prosecution was obtained as a result of the person's seeking medical assistance
for another person; and
(2) the person seeks medical assistance
for another person who is in need of medical assistance for an immediate health
or safety concern, provided that the person who seeks the medical assistance is
the first person to seek the assistance, provides a name and contact
information, remains on the scene until assistance arrives or is provided, and
cooperates with the authorities.
Good faith does not include seeking
medical assistance during the course of the execution of an arrest warrant or
search warrant or a lawful search.
Subd. 2. Person
experiencing an overdose; immunity from prosecution. A person who experiences a
drug-related overdose and is in need of medical assistance may not be charged
or prosecuted for possession of a controlled substance under sections 152.023,
subdivision 2, clauses (4) and (6), 152.024, or 152.025, or possession of drug
paraphernalia. A person qualifies for
the immunities provided in this subdivision only if the evidence for the charge
or prosecution was obtained as a result of the drug-related overdose and the
need for medical assistance.
Subd. 3. Persons
on probation or release. A
person's pretrial release, probation, furlough, supervised release, or parole
shall not be revoked based on an incident for which the person would be immune
from prosecution under subdivision 1 or 2.
Subd. 4. Effect
on other criminal prosecutions. (a)
The act of providing first aid or other medical assistance to someone who is
experiencing a drug-related overdose may be used as a mitigating factor in a
criminal prosecution for which immunity is not provided.
(b) Nothing in this section shall:
(1) be construed to bar the
admissibility of any evidence obtained in connection with the investigation and
prosecution of other crimes or violations committed by a person who otherwise
qualifies for limited immunity under this section;
(2) preclude prosecution of a person on
the basis of evidence obtained from an independent source;
(3) be construed to limit, modify, or
remove any immunity from liability currently available to public entities,
public employees by law, or prosecutors; or
(4)
prevent probation officers from conducting drug testing of persons on pretrial
release, probation, furlough, supervised release, or parole.
Subd. 5. Drug-related
overdose defined. As used in
this section, "drug-related overdose" means an acute condition,
including mania, hysteria, extreme physical illness, or coma, resulting from
the consumption or use of a controlled substance, or another substance with
which a controlled substance was combined, and that a layperson would
reasonably believe to be a drug overdose that requires immediate medical
assistance.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective July 1, 2014, and applies to actions arising from incidents occurring on or after that date."
