This bill aims to amend Title 11 and Title 16 of the Delaware Code to clarify that registered qualifying patients under the Delaware Medical Marijuana Act are not prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms. This means that individuals who are legally registered to use medical marijuana will not be disqualified from owning a firearm.

The bill also makes technical corrections to align existing law with the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual standards.
