Bill > SB129

This bill amends existing law to clarify protections for qualified medical marijuana patients in California, particularly concerning employment. It specifies that while employers are generally not required to accommodate medical marijuana use on their property or during work hours, they cannot discriminate against a person based on their status as a qualified patient or a positive drug test for marijuana, as long as the use did not occur at work. However, this protection does not apply to "safety-sensitive positions," which are defined as roles where impairment could clearly endanger the health and safety of others, including those in law enforcement or performing federally defined safety-sensitive functions. The bill also clarifies that employers can still take action against employees who are impaired by marijuana at work.
