Governor Raimondo proposed several changes to the state's medical marijuana program through the 2017 budget. A guide to some of the proposals and how they've changed:
Tag system
— Raimondo wants to tighten regulations for marijuana patients and their private growers or "caregivers," requiring they buy tracking tags for each plant they grow. Her plan charged between $150 and $350 a tag.
— The House agreed to the tagging plan, but tags would cost $25 each.
Compassion centers
— Raimondo wants to reduce the surcharge the state's dispensaries pay to the state on each sale from 4 percent to 3 percent to equalize competition between dispensaries and private growers or caregivers.
— The House left the surcharge at 4 percent.
