Summary

The bill adds a new subsection to Florida law that bars courts from denying custody, visitation, or parenting time just because a parent is a qualified medical‑marijuana patient. It also eliminates any automatic presumption of neglect or child endangerment tied to that status. The goal is to ensure child‑welfare decisions focus on the child's best interests, not a parent's lawful marijuana use.
