AN ACT to amend the real property actions and proceedings law, in relation to prohibiting the eviction of tenants for the certified medical use of medical marihuana

AI Summary

This bill amends the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law to prohibit the eviction of tenants for the certified medical use of medical marijuana. It establishes that the certified medical use of marijuana is a valid defense against an eviction proceeding, unless the landlord can show that they are seeking to recover possession of the unit for a different, lawful reason. The bill aims to protect tenants who use medical marijuana legally from being evicted solely for that reason.
