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 and that it was reasonable based on the practitioner's observations and the individual's medical history.
By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes the authorization for probationers and parolees to utilize medical cannabis, eliminating the requirements for practitioner attestation regarding the medical necessity and appropriateness of such use. This change signifies a shift in the legal framework governing the use of medical cannabis for individuals under supervision by the judicial system.
