The decision on whether to accept the recommendation will be made by Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania's secretary of health, according to TribLIVE.
State Health Department spokeswoman April Hutcheson told TribLIVE that the medical marijuana law does not require additional legislative action beyond Levine's determination.
