This bill specifies that a family court must not prohibit a family court participant from participating in Missouri's medical marijuana program or require a family court participant to refrain from using medical marijuana as a term or condition of successful completion of the family court program if the person requires treatment for a qualified medical condition in accordance with Article XIV of the Constitution of Missouri. A family court participant who is a qualified patient with a valid medical marijuana certification under the Constitution of Missouri will not be in violation of the terms or conditions of the family court on the basis of his or her participation in the medical marijuana program. The status and conduct of a qualified patient who acts in accordance with Article XIV of the Constitution of Missouri will not by itself be used to restrict or abridge custodial or parental rights to minor children in any action or proceeding under the jurisdiction of the family court or juvenile court.
This bill is the same as HB 2715 (2020).
