Florida Right to Try Act Helps Protect Terminal Patients from FDA Restrictions
Bill Link: HB307
Effective Date: 3/25/2016
Overview: A bill expanding the state’s “Right to Try” law by legalizing the limited use of medical marijuana by terminal patients was signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott.

The new law allows doctors treating terminally ill patients that qualify under Florida’s new “Right to Try” law to recommend medical marijuana. HB307 expands on a recently passed “right to try” law that sets the foundation to nullify in practice some Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules preventing terminally-ill patients from accessing experimental treatments. The new law allows such patients to access medical marijuana, along with other experimental medicines and treatments.

Florida Right to Try Act Helps Protect Terminal Patients from FDA Restrictions
Bill Link: H269
Effective Date: 7/1/2015
Overview: A bill that would effectively nullify in practice certain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules that prevent terminally ill patients from accessing treatments was signed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott.

House Bill 269 (H269) pushes back against the FDA and their controversial methodology of withholding experimental treatments from people on their deathbed.

H269 bypasses the FDA expanded access program and allows patients to obtain experimental drugs from manufacturers without obtaining FDA approval. This procedure directly conflicts with the federal expanded access program and effectively nullifies it in practice.
