'As our legal cannabis industry continues to flourish, it's important to ensure that the door of economic opportunity remains open for all Nevadans,' Gov. Steve Sisolak said.
Last week, Nevada became the first state in the United States to ban nearly all pre-employment drug testing for marijuana. The law is expected to go into effect in January 2020, three years after the state legalized cannabis for recreational use.
The law generally prohibits employers from refusing to hire a candidate because they submitted a drug test that indicated the presence of marijuana. But the legislation does not apply to firefighters, emergency medical technicians, operators of motor vehicles or other positions that could"adversely affect the safety of others."
"I didn't want people to be discriminated against about the lawful use of marijuana," Neal said."That was my purpose."
