registry identification card shall state that the patient is terminally
ill and that the registration card shall not expire until the patient
dies;

certification on an earlier date, then the registry identification card
shall expire on that date and shall be promptly returned by the
certified patient to the department;

shall state any recommendation or limitation by the practitioner as to
the form or forms of medical marihuana or dosage for the certified
patient; and
(e) The commissioner shall make regulations to implement this
subdivision.
9.(a) A certification may be a special certification if, in addition
to the other requirements for a certification, the practitioner
certifies in the certification that the patient's serious condition is
progressive and degenerative or that delay in the patient's certified
medical use of marihuana poses a serious risk to the patient's life or
health.
(b) The department shall create the form to be used for a special
certification and shall make that form available to be downloaded from
the department's website.
