New Jersey S3452 protects authorized medical cannabis patients from adverse employment actions.

New Jersey S3452 establishes protection from adverse employment actions for authorized medical cannabis patients. Employers must offer employees or job applicants who test positive for cannabis an opportunity to present a legitimate medical explanation for the positive test result. Employers cannot take adverse employment actions against these individuals unless they can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the lawful use of medical cannabis has impaired the employee's ability to perform their job responsibilities.
