The bill amends section 39.806 of the Florida Statutes to protect the parental rights of individuals who are qualified patients using medical marijuana. It explicitly prohibits courts from denying or restricting a parent's custody, visitation rights, or parenting time with their minor child solely based on their status as a qualified patient. Additionally, the bill establishes that there is no presumption of neglect or child endangerment based solely on a parent's status as a qualified patient.

To implement these protections, the bill introduces a new subsection (2) to section 39.806, which outlines these prohibitions and clarifies that the best interests of the child must still be considered in custody or dependency determinations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
