Bill > SB732

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Act to clarify and expand employment-related provisions for medical marijuana users, specifically focusing on how employers can handle employees in safety-sensitive positions. The bill introduces new definitions such as "impaired," "safety-sensitive position," and "under the influence," which provide more detailed guidelines for determining when an employer can take action against an employee who uses medical marijuana. Key provisions include allowing employers to require drug tests for safety-sensitive positions, permitting adverse employment actions if an employee's medical marijuana use decreases job performance, and establishing that employers can prohibit marijuana use in the workplace. The bill also specifies that employees cannot challenge adverse employment decisions under other state or local laws and requires the Secretary of Labor and Industry to create regulations for enforcement. Employers must engage in an interactive process with employees to evaluate their ability to perform job duties and cannot discriminate solely based on an employee's medical marijuana certification. The bill aims to balance employee rights with employer safety concerns by providing clear standards for workplace interactions involving medical marijuana use.
