Tyler Technologies has signed an agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky to implement Tyler's Cannabis Licensing solution to support the regulation of its medical cannabis program.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky signed Senate Bill 47 in March 2023, which established parameters and guardrails around the legalization of medical cannabis. The Bill will go into effect on January 1, 2025, and Tyler's software will be instrumental in preparing for the launch of the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program. As part of that launch, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) aims to ensure that Kentuckians suffering from serious medical conditions have safe, affordable access to medical cannabis, achieved via a commitment to evidence-based practices, transparency, outreach, and education.
Tyler's Cannabis Licensing solution intends to support the CHFS by delivering the tools needed to simplify cannabis licensing and registration for patients, business owners, and caregivers, as well as maintain regulatory compliance. In addition, Tyler makes efforts to help establish the electronic licensing system and patient/caregiver registry for the Commonwealth. Tyler's Cannabis Licensing solution will be cloud-hosted, powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), providing an environment for the software.
"We are very pleased to be selected by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to implement Tyler's Cannabis Licensing solution," said Carlos Luna, general manager of Tyler's Kentucky state enterprise. "Tyler is experienced in the implementation of state Cannabis Licensing solutions, and we look forward to making the process of complying with this upcoming legislation smooth and streamlined for the commonwealth."
