Bill > H4699

This bill prohibits employment discrimination based on the legal use of cannabis. It defines key terms such as "marijuana," "qualifying patient," and "safety sensitive position." The bill restricts pre-employment marijuana testing and prohibits employers from taking adverse employment actions against individuals based on their status as a qualifying patient, unless the individual used, possessed, or was impaired by marijuana at the workplace or during work hours. Exceptions are made for safety-sensitive positions and for public employers if compliance would cause a violation of federal law, regulation, contract, or funding agreement.
