The bill proposes the repeal of Section 34-20G-96, which previously allowed individuals on probation or parole to use medical cannabis under certain conditions. Specifically, the existing law required that a practitioner's attestation was necessary to confirm that the use of medical cannabis was consistent with medical standards for treating the individual's documented debilitating condition, reasonable based on the practitioner's observations and examinations, and justified when comparing the risks and benefits of medical cannabis to other treatment options.

By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that permitted probationers and parolees to utilize medical cannabis, thereby prohibiting its use for these individuals regardless of their medical circumstances. This change reflects a significant shift in the state's approach to medical cannabis use among those under supervision by the judicial system.
