Employment Discrimination - School Employees - Use of Cannabis

Summary

The bill bars any elementary, secondary or higher‑education institution in Maryland from refusing to hire or from changing the pay, benefits or status of an employee solely because the person uses cannabis legally outside of work hours and without school equipment. It does not apply to safety‑sensitive positions, such as transportation, security or staff who directly supervise students. Schools may still enforce safety rules and cannot require cannabis use or allow impairment during work.
