Designates unlawful discriminatory practices relating to persons recovering from substance use disorder

This bill prohibits government agencies from discriminating against individuals who are recovering from substance use disorders by denying them employment. It defines "government agency" broadly to include state departments, local municipalities, public schools, and correctional facilities. Under the new law, it is illegal for these employers to reject a job applicant solely because of their recovery status, provided they are not currently using substances. The provision takes effect immediately upon passage, aiming to ensure equal hiring opportunities for people in recovery.
