An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child custody, further providing for factors to consider when awarding custody.

SB 926 amends Pennsylvania's child custody law to add a new factor for courts to consider: a party's or household member's history of drug or alcohol abuse. It specifically clarifies that lawful medical marijuana use under Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Act (2016) alone cannot be used as evidence to deny custody or require drug testing. The bill directly affects family courts and parents involved in custody disputes by explicitly protecting medical marijuana users from having their lawful use impact custody decisions. This change updates the existing custody factors list in Title 23 of Pennsylvania law to ensure medical marijuana use is not unfairly treated as evidence of abuse. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
