Bill Summary
Relative to non-violation of parole for possession of valid prescriptions. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of Massachusetts law to prohibit parole violations solely based on a parolee's possession or use of controlled substances that have been lawfully prescribed by a registered healthcare professional, or medical marijuana obtained in compliance with state regulations if the parolee has a valid medical marijuana certification and the quantity is within the recommended amount. The bill aims to ensure that parolees who are using prescribed medications or medical marijuana as directed by their healthcare providers do not face revocation of their parole permits solely for that reason.
