AI Summary

This bill prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants based on their off-the-job use of cannabis or the presence of non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites in their system from past use. It allows employers to conduct drug screenings that do not test for these non-psychoactive metabolites and to maintain drug-free workplaces as required by federal law. The bill exempts certain safety-sensitive positions, such as those in law enforcement, fire departments, and the airline/aerospace industries, where impairment could present substantial risks. The law takes effect on January 1, 2024.
