AI Summary
This bill prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on their use of marijuana, as long as the use is not during work hours or while performing job duties, and the employee is not impaired at work. Employers are still allowed to take adverse action if the employee cannot maintain necessary licenses or credentials, or is charged with a crime related to marijuana use. The bill provides for civil action and damages if the law is violated, and requires the executive offices of labor and workforce development and public safety and security to promulgate regulations to enforce the new section.
