Bill Summary

For legislation to protect the rights of probationers in drug courts. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the rights of probationers by prohibiting the revocation of probation solely on the basis of their possession or use of a controlled substance prescribed by a healthcare professional or their possession or use of medical marijuana if they have a valid medical marijuana registration card. This ensures that probationers who are legally using prescribed medications or medical marijuana are not unfairly penalized for their lawful medical treatment.
