Denial of the right of a person to purchase, own, possess, or carry a firearm solely on the basis that the person is enrolled as a patient in the medical cannabis registry prohibition

SF 313 prevents Minnesota from denying a person's right to purchase, own, possess, or carry a firearm solely because they are enrolled as a medical cannabis patient. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes (sections 624.712, 624.713, and others) to clarify that "qualifying patient" status under medical cannabis law does not trigger firearm restrictions. It directly affects medical cannabis patients who previously faced potential firearm denial under existing law. The key mechanism is adding specific definitions to state law, ensuring cannabis registry enrollment alone cannot be used to prohibit firearm rights. This bill does not change other firearm restrictions or medical cannabis laws.
