Bill > SB403

This bill modifies Missouri state law regarding marijuana use by family court participants by adding a new section to Chapter 487. Specifically, the bill prevents family courts from prohibiting or penalizing participants for possessing or using marijuana in compliance with Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution (which legalized marijuana for adult use). The law explicitly states that marijuana use consistent with state constitutional provisions cannot be grounds for preventing a participant from successfully completing a family court program. Additionally, the bill stipulates that marijuana possession or use cannot be used as a sole basis for restricting or limiting a person's custodial or parental rights in family court or juvenile court proceedings. This provision aims to protect the rights of individuals who legally use marijuana under Missouri's constitutional framework, ensuring that their cannabis use does not automatically impact their legal standing in family-related legal matters.
