“It is unlawful for any employer in this State to fail or refuse to hire a prospective employee because the prospective employee submitted to a screening test and the results of the screening test indicate the presence of marijuana,” states the law, signed by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak on June 5.

This is from a report by CNN,  which also cites the New York City Council passing a similar bill two months ago. As legalization continues throughout the country, will other states follow suit? Time will tell, although there are some exceptions to this policy. 

The law does not apply to firefighters, EMTs, employees who operate a motor vehicle, or those who, in the determination of the employer, could adversely affect others’ safety. That’s probably for the best.
