Bill Summary

Relative to rental property and medical marijuana. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill clarifies that landlords in Massachusetts can prohibit the smoking of marijuana, even if it's for medicinal purposes, on their rental properties, and this prohibition will not be considered discrimination based on a medical condition. This means that if a landlord has a "no smoking" policy, it can apply to medical marijuana users as well, without violating anti-discrimination laws related to health conditions.
