EMPLOYMENT/DISCRIMINATN: Provides relative to employment discrimination against certain employees being treated with medical marijuana

HB 460 would protect state employees and job applicants in Louisiana from employment discrimination based on using physician-recommended medical marijuana. It prohibits state agencies and the Civil Service Commission from refusing to hire or firing individuals who use medical marijuana as prescribed, while still allowing drug testing for impairment during work hours. The bill applies to all state classified and unclassified service positions, ensuring medical marijuana use does not affect employment decisions. This change would update existing anti-discrimination law to explicitly include medical marijuana use under state employment protections.
