Bill > SB1307

This bill modifies Missouri law regarding marijuana use by family court participants, specifically adding a new section to Chapter 487 that protects individuals' rights to use marijuana legally under the state constitution. The bill prevents family courts from prohibiting participants from possessing or using marijuana in accordance with Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution, and it also prevents courts from requiring participants to abstain from marijuana use as a condition of completing a family court program. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that legal marijuana possession and use cannot be used as a basis for restricting or limiting a parent's custodial or parental rights in family court or juvenile court proceedings. This legislation aims to ensure that individuals who use marijuana legally under state law are not unfairly penalized in family court contexts, protecting their rights to participate in court programs and maintain parental relationships.
