H.F. 4761 Summary

• Amends Minnesota workplace drug and cannabis testing laws to clarify that "positive test result" includes the presence of cannabis or its metabolites at or above threshold detection levels.

• Permits random cannabis testing only for employees in safety-sensitive positions or professional athletes subject to collective bargaining agreements allowing such testing.

• Prohibits employers from testing job applicants solely for cannabis presence or refusing to hire based on a positive cannabis test result, unless otherwise required by state or federal law.

• Requires employers to prohibit cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, and hemp-derived consumer products only through written work rules included in their testing policy.

• Limits laboratory disclosure of test results to employers to only the presence or absence of drugs, cannabis, alcohol, or their metabolites, protecting employee privacy regarding other test details.
