Permits employers to prohibit use of cannabis by certain employees.

This bill (S 677) allows employers in New Jersey to test employees for cannabis impairment during work hours and take disciplinary action if impairment is confirmed. It requires employers to use certified "Workplace Impairment Recognition Experts" (trained to assess impairment, not just detect cannabis use) when evaluating employees for safety-sensitive roles or after accidents. The law does not override existing employer policies prohibiting workplace cannabis use or federal drug requirements, but protects employees from being punished for off-duty cannabis use outside work hours. It directly affects employees in jobs where employers enforce drug-testing policies for on-the-job safety.
