A recently introduced Pennsylvania Bill could reshape the way injured workers receive treatment and financial support for medical cannabis. House Bill 1766 (H.B. 1766), unveiled on Monday, proposes that Pennsylvania employers be required to reimburse injured workers up to $250 per month for cannabis-related expenses.
This proposed legislation aims to make medical marijuana a more accessible and affordable option for injured employees seeking alternative pain management treatments. The Pennsylvania Bill addresses a long-standing issue—medical cannabis use has been legal in the state, but coverage for its cost under workers' compensation has remained uncertain.
Key Provisions of the Pennsylvania Bill
According to H.B. 1766, only workers registered with the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Program would be eligible for reimbursement.
