MediSwipe Inc. (www.MediSwipe.com) (OTCQB: MWIP), a patient
security solutions and financial products company for the health
care industry, announced today that the Company has relocated its
corporate headquarters from South Florida to Birmingham, Michigan
effective immediately. The Company made the decision to relocate to
Michigan based on recent and favorable state legislation regarding
medical marijuana and dispensary laws as early as two weeks ago in
December 2012.
While Colorado, Washington and Massachusetts have grabbed the
spotlight during the elections, the state of Michigan made plenty
of headway as well, though in an indirect way. Voters in four
cities -- Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint and Ypsilanti -- backed
initiatives to decriminalize marijuana or make cannabis a low
priority for law enforcement officials.
Key members of the MediSwipe leadership team, including
President B. Michael Friedman and legal counsel, will be based in
the state as well as some of the Company's largest shareholders. As
one of the fastest growing medical marijuana states, Michigan will
also provide a strong community of support for the growing
Company.
Michigan's recent legislation adds clarification and
restrictions to the voter-approved medical marijuana act of 2008
and got the required support from three-fourths of legislators. The
changes are the result of many months of meetings with stakeholders
and committee hearings with testimony from law enforcement
officials, doctors, medical marijuana caregivers and patient
advocates.
Two main bills got 29-9 and 30-8 votes in the Republican-led
Senate. Shortly after, the GOP-controlled House voted 98-7 and
100-5 to send them to Gov. Rick Snyder.
HB 4834 requires a driver's license or
state ID card to obtain medical marijuana patient registration
cards, extends the card's expiration from one to two years, and
attempts to address a backlog of card applications by calling for
the state to contract with a private company to help process and
issue registration cards.
It also would allow the Department of Licensing and Regulatory
Affairs to verify the validity of registry cards to members of law
enforcement, without disclosing more information than
necessary.
HB 4851 adds conditions for a "bona fide
physician-patient relationship," which is required for medical
marijuana cardholders.
"I felt this move was a necessary and important move for the
Company, and will allow us to keep a close pulse on the industry as
we continue to introduce innovative products to businesses and
patients in Michigan and surrounding states proposing similar
legislation. While the states out west including Colorado and
Washington figure out total legalization, we would prefer to focus
on and be the dominant player within the east coast and Midwest
markets like Michigan, New Jersey, Massachusetts and potential new
emerging markets like Ohio and Vermont, keeping our east coast
roots as well as remaining close to our investment banking partners
on Wall Street," stated B. Michael Friedman.
"Right now, MediSwipe can offer server or cloud based patient
record scanning and record storage through our DigitalID software,
bill pay and cashless payment kiosks for alternative payment
solutions as well as mobile platform solutions for coupons,
prescription alerts and renewals. Any dispensary or healthcare
operation seeking more information on the MediSwipe suite of
products may call our offices at 561.296.6393," further stated
Friedman.
