The House of Representatives has passed an amended bill allowing those with certain seizures to use cannabidiol oil as a treatment for those conditions.
The House voted to pass it in a 39-30 vote, with some split among Canyon County representatives. Reps. Christy Perry, R-Nampa, and Greg Chaney, R-Caldwell, both voted for the measure, while Reps. Gale Batt, Brent Crane and Rick Youngblood - all of Nampa - voted against it.
The amended bill is sponsored by Sen. Curt McKenzie, R-Nampa, who originally proposed full legalization but changed it to allow the use as an affirmative defense. That means Idaho parents whose children are diagnosed with seizures that cannot be controlled with standard anti-seizure medications are permitted to use the oil legally.
The condition usually begins in infancy, resulting in loss of motor skill development as the child ages. As the seizures continue through the years, they can turn fatal. The bill now heads to Gov. Butch Otter's desk, and there are questions about whether the governor may veto, as he has indicated opposition to it in the past.
