LA HB460

Extends existing medical marijuana employment protections to all state classified and unclassified service employees, making protections binding on the State Civil Service Commission and all appointing authorities

State employers cannot impose negative employment consequences based solely on a positive marijuana drug test for employees with a debilitating medical condition and physician recommendation for therapeutic marijuana use

Employers may still impose negative consequences on employees who use or are impaired by marijuana on work premises or during work hours

Employees whose primary responsibility involves operating or maintaining state vehicles, or supervising those who do, remain subject to restrictions

Exemptions remain for emergency medical services, law enforcement, public safety officials, horse racing commission employees, and firefighter services
