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 based solely on their status as a qualified patient. Additionally, the bill establishes that there is no presumption of neglect or child endangerment solely due to a parent's status as a qualified patient.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that emphasizes the importance of determining the best interests of the child in custody or dependency cases, ensuring that the new regulations are considered in such determinations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
