The law reads that a family member can be your care provider if it is an immediate family member or someone that lives under your same roof, son/daughter can grow for mother/father without registering even if living separate. Also a husband wife could grow for one or the other without registering. I believe it states some where you can have the care provider listed on your cert and that would be enough to protect care provider under law. You just need to have a family member that has a card or doc cert.
This is what I have read in the new laws someone correct me if I’m wrong and please point me to where it reads otherwise.
This is what I found
5-A. Member of the family. "Member of the family" means a person who is a spouse, domestic partner, child, sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, parent, stepparent, grandparent or grandchild of another person. "Member of the family" includes a person living with a person as a spouse and a natural parent of a child of a person.
5-B. Members of the same household. "Members of the same household" means 2 or more people who share a dwelling unit.

Cultivate up to 6 mature marijuana plants for each qualifying patient who has designated the primary caregiver to cultivate marijuana on the patient's behalf , subject to the limitation in subsection 1, paragraph B on the total number of plants authorized per qualifying patient. A primary caregiver may not cultivate marijuana for a patient unless the patient has designated the primary caregiver for that purpose and the patient has not designated a registered dispensary to cultivate marijuana for the patient's medical use . In addition to the marijuana plants otherwise authorized under this paragraph, a primary caregiver may have harvested marijuana plants in varying stages of processing in order to ensure the primary caregiver is able to meet the needs of the primary caregiver's qualifying patients
THERE IS MORE IM JUST CUTTING PARTS THAT SEEM TO ANSER PEOPLES QUESTIONS.
3. Cultivation of marijuana. The following provisions apply to the cultivation of marijuana by qualifying patient under subsection 1 and a primary caregiver under subsection 2.
A. Possess up to 2 1/2 ounces of prepared marijuana and an incidental amount of marijuana as provided in subsection 5 for each qualifying patient who has named designated the person as a primary caregiver;
A. A patient who elects to cultivate marijuana plants must keep the plants in an enclosed, locked facility unless the plants are being transported because the patient is moving or taking the plants to the patient's own property in order to cultivate them.

C. A primary caregiver designated to cultivate marijuana for a qualifying patient is required to register with the department, except that the following primary caregivers are not required to register:
(1) A primary caregiver designated to cultivate for a qualifying patient if that qualifying patient is a member of the household of that primary caregiver;
(2) Two primary caregivers who are qualifying patients, if those primary caregivers are members of the same household and assist one another with cultivation; and
(3) A primary caregiver who cultivates for a qualifying patient if that qualifying patient is a member of the family of that primary caregiver.
I THINK THIS SHOULD ANSER ALL THE QUESTIONS I SEE POPING AROUND ABOUT WHO CAN BE A CARE GIVE AND WHO HAS TO REGESTER TO BE A CARE GIVER.
