The Virginia House of Delegates has approved a bill to protect the rights of parents who use marijuana in compliance with state law.
The legislation from Del. Nadarius Clark (D) is consistent with a measure he sponsored last session that advanced through the legislature, only to be vetoed by then-Gov. Glenn Youngkin ®. The latest version passed the House in a 62-37 vote on Tuesday.
Under the proposal, possession of use of cannabis by a parent or guardian on its own “shall not serve as a basis to deem a child abused or neglected unless other facts establish that such possession or consumption causes or creates a risk of physical or mental injury to the child.”
