AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DESIGNATED CAREGIVERS FOR A MINOR QUALIFYING PATIENT UNDER THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA ACT.

A minor child that is a qualifying patient may need, in addition to their parents, a designated caregiver who is not their parent when the parents work and cannot regularly get to school to administer medicine. This bill expands the class of persons who can be designated caregivers to a minor qualifying patient. This bill would allow grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings, all over age 21, as persons who may be designated caregivers for a minor patient.
