AI Summary

This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption of culpability and liability in all civil matters and a rebuttable presumption of criminal intent in all criminal matters where there is evidence of marijuana use by the parties involved. The bill requires that evidence of prior marijuana use or possession within the past 365 days be admissible in all civil and criminal proceedings. Additionally, a refusal to submit to a court-ordered drug test is considered prima facie proof of marijuana use. The bill aims to address concerns that the legalization of marijuana may increase criminal and civil wrongdoing, and the Legislature's obligation to protect citizens from potential dangers.
