ABOUT THE EVENT

As marijuana legalization expands across the U.S., employers face growing challenges involving workplace safety, drug testing, employee protections, reasonable suspicion, and disability accommodations. New state laws are limiting employer testing practices and increasing protections for off-duty marijuana use, while federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal.

In this training, Don will explain the latest marijuana workplace laws and legal developments, discuss impairment and testing challenges, review recent court cases, and provide practical guidance for updating workplace policies and reducing compliance risk.
