Bill Summary
Prohibiting employment discrimination based on legal use of cannabis
AI Summary
This bill prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or job applicants based on the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or marijuana metabolites in their body, unless the employee is in a "safety sensitive position" or the employer's compliance would violate federal law. It provides an exception if the employee is unable to maintain necessary licenses, credentials, or qualifications due to the presence of THC or marijuana metabolites, regardless of whether those qualifications prohibit the use of marijuana. The bill defines a "safety sensitive position" as one where the employee's duties, if performed under the influence, could lead to immediate physical injury or loss of life to themselves or others.
