Establishes protection from adverse employment action for authorized medical cannabis patients.
Introduced First Reading Assembly Referred to ALA
Summary
The bill prevents employers from firing, refusing to hire, or otherwise penalizing qualified medical cannabis patients based on their registry status or a positive drug test, unless the employer can show the cannabis use impairs job performance. It also requires employers to give written notice and a chance to explain a positive test, while still allowing drug‑free workplace rules and compliance with federal law.
