Bill > HB525

This bill prohibits an employer from discriminating against an individual because of their use of cannabis products, as long as the use occurs off the employer's premises during non-work hours and does not impair the individual's job performance. The bill also requires certain employers to issue a drug policy to their employees before the effective date of the policy. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the anti-discrimination provisions do not authorize an employee to be impaired by or use cannabis during work hours, nor do they require an employer to violate federal law or lose federal contracts or funding. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
