Bill Summary

An Act relating to medical marijuana; amending 63 O.S. 2021, Section 427.8, which relates to rights and restrictions related to medical marijuana use and possession; implementing discretional zero-tolerance policy for all employers; removing safety-sensitive definition; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill, effective November 1, 2026, significantly alters employer policies regarding medical marijuana by implementing a discretionary zero-tolerance approach for all employers, removing the previous definition of "safety-sensitive" positions that previously allowed for exceptions to drug testing. Previously, employers could not penalize employees solely for being a medical marijuana licensee or for a positive drug test unless specific conditions were met, such as the employee not possessing a valid license, being under the influence at work, or holding a safety-sensitive position. This bill now allows employers to refuse to hire, discipline, discharge, or take other adverse employment actions against individuals based on a positive drug test for marijuana or its metabolites, provided they have a written, zero-tolerance drug and alcohol testing policy. It also clarifies that employers are not required to accommodate the use, possession, or being under the influence of medical marijuana in the workplace or during job duties, and it removes the distinction for safety-sensitive roles, meaning all positions are now subject to the employer's zero-tolerance policy.
