SB 2293 — Concentrate Container Limits + ID Flexibility

SB 2293 (2025) addresses concentrate handling and patient identification:

1 g maximum per concentrate container.
Patient ID flexibility provisions.
Affects program-licensed concentrate products only; cross-border concentrate remains Class C felony at any weight.

SB 2294 — The Two-Year Card + Telehealth + Fees

SB 2294 (2025) is the broadest of the 2025 expansion bills:

Card validity 2 years (extended from 1 year).
Telehealth permitted for initial certifications (previously only renewals).
Application fee raised from $25 to $40.
60-day electronic non-resident card pathway.

The 2025 Expansion Package

HB 1203 (lozenges) + SB 2293 + SB 2294 together constitute the 2025 medical-program expansion package — the most consequential update since 2017 SB 2344. All three signed by Gov. Kelly Armstrong, who has supported medical expansion despite opposing recreational legalization.

Patient Impact

Two-year card doubles renewal interval, reducing annual paperwork burden and renewal-fee frequency.
Telehealth initial certifications address rural-county provider scarcity (especially Williston, where no in-person providers were certifying).
60-day non-resident card provides a pathway for visiting patients (particularly seasonal Bakken oilfield workers and tourism visitors).
$40 fee remains modest relative to neighboring states’ programs.

Practical Notes

Renew at least 45 calendar days before expiration per § 19-24.1-05.
Application via NDDHHS BioTrack at mmregistration.health.nd.gov.
Out-of-state cards still NOT honored for in-state purchase.
The 60-day non-resident pathway requires a certifying provider relationship.
