State has allowed medical marijuana use for 15 years, but not for people on probation or parole.

A bill facing its first test Thursday in the state House would change that policy. The would say that pot use doesn't amount to a probation violation for people with medical clearance to use the drug.

The hearing comes two days after Arizona's highest court ruled that marijuana patients in that state should be allowed to use the drug while on probation or parole. California, Rhode Island and the U.S. Virgin Islands also allow probationers to use medical marijuana.

Colorado's Court of Appeals ruled in 2012 that people on probation should not be allowed to use medical marijuana.
