Bill Summary
Prohibiting an employer from discriminating against an individual because of the individual's use of cannabis products under certain circumstances; establishing that certain provisions prohibiting employment discrimination do not prohibit an employer from taking certain actions against an employee under certain circumstances or authorize certain behaviors by an employee; and requiring certain employers to issue a drug policy under certain circumstances.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals based on their use of cannabis products, as long as the use occurs off the employer's premises and during non-work hours. The bill also clarifies that employers can still prohibit employees from possessing or using intoxicating substances during work hours and can take adverse employment actions against employees who are impaired on the job. Additionally, the bill requires employers who conduct drug testing to provide their updated drug policies to all employees before the policy's effective date.
