AR HB1935

Amends Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 98 (Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016) to add a new provision clarifying that public schools are not required to permit qualifying patient students to be present on school grounds, attend school events, or participate in extracurricular activities in violation of student discipline policies when school officials have a good faith belief the student's behavior is impaired.

Maintains existing provisions stating the amendment does not require health insurance reimbursement, employer workplace accommodations, property owners to allow marijuana use on their property, or landlords to permit smoking of marijuana on leased property.

Declares an emergency clause, finding that public schools need immediate guidance and clarity regarding the amendment's effect, as the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016 became effective November 9, 2016.

Bill became effective upon Governor's approval on April 7, 2017.
