New York City Enacts Ban On Pre-Employment Marijuana Testing

Last year the New York City Council by a vote of 40-4 enacted Int. 1445-A (the “Law”), which amends the New York City Human Rights Law to prohibit employers and staffing firms from pre- employment drug testing for marijuana and THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). The Law will go into effect on May 10, 2020. It is applicable to employers with four or more employees who physically work in New York City and, pending further guidance, only to those employees who physically work in New York City (including temporary employees of staffing firms).
