The department-approved identification and out-of-state medical marijuana card must be issued by the same state. The department may use the out-of-state department-approved identification and out-of-state medical marijuana card in place of a written certification to approve or deny the application under section 19-24.1-05. The department shall issue a registry identification card within thirty calendar days of approving an application under this section. The issued registry identification card is valid for sixty days.
