Bill > HB488

This bill amends KRS 342.610, the Kentucky workers' compensation law, to exclude certain levels of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in an employee's blood from the presumption that an injury was caused by the introduction of certain substances into the employee's body. Specifically, if an employee has a THC level of less than 5 nanograms per milliliter in their blood, there is an irrebuttable presumption that the THC did not cause the injury or death. If the employee's THC level is 5 nanograms or more per milliliter, the employer has the burden of proving the injury or death was caused by the THC, rather than the presumption that the THC caused it.
