Relative to medical marijuana pediatric patient protections. Marijuana Policy.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect pediatric patients who use medical marijuana. It defines a "Pediatric Patient" as a qualifying patient under the age of 18 who has been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition by a single licensed physician. The bill prohibits any action or proceeding by a child welfare agency or juvenile/family court against a parent, grandparent, pregnant woman, legal guardian, or other caregiver solely or primarily based on the person's patient or caregiver status or the presence of cannabinoid components in their bodily fluids. Additionally, the bill allows qualifying pediatric patients under 18 to receive a written certification for medical marijuana, provided the certifying physician meets any registration, educational, or other requirements set by the relevant authorities.
