Marijuana in the Golden State: California Lawmakers Seek to Protect Medical-Marijuana Users in the Workplace
Philadelphia partner Dave Woolf and San Francisco senior attorney Jaime Walter wrote a blog post for LaborSphere titled “Marijuana in the Golden State: California Lawmakers Seek to Protect Medical-Marijuana Users in the Workplace.” Assembly Bill 2069 would amend the California Fair Employment and Housing Act by “prohibit[ing] an employer from engaging in employment discrimination against a person on the basis of his or her status as, or positive drug test for cannabis by, a qualified patient or person with an identification card.”
Dave and Jaime discuss critical questions the bill raises, as well as what employers should do if the bill passes.
