MN HF3968

Urinalysis tests for individuals on parole, supervised release, or conditional release may only be required when there is reasonable suspicion of illicit drug use, and the basis for that suspicion must be documented in the case management system.

The Commissioner of Corrections may prohibit use of adult-use cannabis, hemp-derived consumer products, or lower-potency hemp edibles as a release condition only if a chemical use assessment recommends abstinence as part of the individual's level of care.

Participation in Minnesota's medical cannabis registry program cannot be prohibited as a condition of release, and a positive cannabis test alone cannot be grounds for revoking release or sanctioning a patient enrolled in the registry.

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 244.05, subdivision 2, which governs rules for conditions and revocation of supervised or conditional release.
