SF 4178 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Urinalysis test use limitation for supervised individuals

This bill limits when supervised individuals in Minnesota must submit to urinalysis drug tests by requiring reasonable suspicion of illicit drug use and documentation of that suspicion in the supervision authority's case management system. It directly affects people on parole, supervised release, or conditional release by establishing new conditions for drug testing under their supervision. The legislation also prohibits revoking release or sanctioning individuals solely for participating in the cannabis registry program or testing positive for cannabis components or metabolites. Additionally, the bill allows the commissioner of corrections to prohibit certain individuals from using specific cannabis products if they undergo a chemical use assessment and abstinence is recommended for their level of care.
