On March 10, 2020, the New York City Commission on Human Rights (the “Commission”) proposed rules addressing exceptions recognized under the city’s ordinance generally prohibiting pre-employment testing for marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinols (THC)–the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. The ban on pre-employment testing for marijuana and THC is slated to take effect on May 10, 2020. The Commission announced a notice of public hearing and opportunity to comment on the proposed rules. All comments must be submitted by April 16, 2020.
