Massachusetts H159 prohibits employment discrimination based on legal use of cannabis.

Massachusetts H159 amends the state's General Laws to prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on legal use of cannabis. This protection does not apply to safety-sensitive positions or if compliance would violate federal law. The bill aims to prevent employers from refusing to hire, barring, or discharging employees due to the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol or marijuana metabolite in their body samples, unless there is reasonable suspicion of impairment at work.
