Pennsylvania SB926 amends child custody laws to exclude lawful medical marijuana use from custody determinations.

Pennsylvania SB926 amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to modify factors considered in child custody decisions. Courts must weigh all relevant factors when determining the best interest of the child, with a focus on safety. Notably, the bill specifies that a party's lawful use of medical marijuana, as defined under the Medical Marijuana Act, alone cannot be used to determine child custody or mandate a drug test. This change aims to ensure that medical marijuana use does not unfairly influence custody outcomes.
