DOVER — With the Thursday, June 11, passage of Rylie’s Law through the House, children suffering from various forms of seizures will soon have access to medicine that was previously reserved only for adults..

The House voted unanimously in favor of the bill with 40 yes and one absent.

Rylie’s Law, Senate Bill 90, is named after Rylie Maedler, a 9-year-old from Rehoboth Beach. It would allow Delaware children under the age of 18 to use medical marijuana-based oils to treat intractable epilepsy and dystonia.

Immediately following the vote, Speaker of the House Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth Beach, thanked his fellow House members.

“This is very important to this little girl right here,” he said with Rylie standing proudly by his side.

The bill was introduced May 7 by Sen. Ernie Lopez, R-Lewes, and it sailed through the Senate by a unanimous 21-0 vote June 2.
