Employment of individuals who lawfully consume cannabis; protection; employment; effective date.

HB 1714 prohibits Oklahoma employers from discriminating against job applicants or employees based on off-work cannabis use or the presence of nonpsychoactive cannabis metabolites in drug tests. It specifically prevents employers from refusing to hire someone solely because of these factors, while allowing employers to use scientifically valid tests that don’t screen for nonpsychoactive metabolites. The law does not apply to safety-sensitive roles (like airlines or federal clearance positions), federal drug testing requirements, or situations involving suspected impairment. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
