SUMMARY
This amendment amends Committee Amendment "A" to strike and replace the provision in the bill that provides that a child upon a recommendation from the child's health care provider may not be denied eligibility to attend school solely because the child requires medical marijuana in a nonsmokeable form as a reasonable accommodation necessary for the child to attend school.
This amendment provides that a child who holds a written certification for the use of medical marijuana from a medical provider under the Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Act may not be denied eligibility.
This amendment retains the provisions in Committee Amendment "A" concerning the possession and administering of marijuana in a nonsmokeable form by a parent, guardian or other primary caregiver.
