Florida S0130 protects parental rights by preventing courts from restricting custody or visitation based on medical marijuana use.

Florida S0130 amends section 39.806 of the Florida Statutes to ensure that courts cannot deny or restrict a parent's custody of a minor child or visitation rights based solely on the parent's status as a qualified patient for medical marijuana use. It also removes any presumption of neglect or child endangerment based on this status. This change applies when courts determine the best interests of the child in custody or dependency cases. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
