Authorizes a law enforcement agency to require applicants for certain positions of employment to make certain attestations as a condition precedent to employment. (BDR 23-1061)
AB 400 allows Nevada law enforcement agencies to require applicants for positions involving firearm possession to attest in writing about their cannabis use during the 12 months before applying. It specifically affects job seekers for roles where carrying a firearm is authorized or required, such as patrol officers. The bill amends existing law by permitting this disclosure (previously prohibited for all applicants) but does not apply to positions without firearm requirements. It does not change policies for ongoing employment or post-application cannabis use. The change applies to both medical and adult cannabis use as defined in the bill.
