(a) A medical marijuana cardholder shall submit an identification card renewal application to the Department no later than 30 days prior to the expiration date on the card. The form of the renewal application will be prescribed by the Department and will be made available on the Department's publicly-accessible web site and in hard copy upon request.

(c) Section 1191a.27 (relating to criminal background checks) shall not apply to an applicant who has been previously approved by the Department to serve as a caregiver.
