HB50

Provide protections to parents and pregnant women with substance use disorder

Failed·5/22/25

Montana HB50 provides protections for parents and pregnant women with substance use disorder.

Montana HB50 offers protections to parents and pregnant women with substance use disorder by preventing the revocation of supervised release, probation, furlough, or parole based on incidents where immunity applies. It also prohibits the use of a parent's positive drug test as the sole factor in child abuse investigations, placement in protective care, abuse and neglect proceedings, or termination of parental rights. Additionally, it ensures that providing first aid or medical assistance during a drug-related overdose can be considered a mitigating factor in criminal prosecutions.
