Title:
AZ: Employment discrimination bill headed to Senate floor; Act now!
Message:
Urge
your senator to oppose H.B. 2541!
H.B. 2541,
a bill that would make it easier for employers to fire medical marijuana
patients, has already passed the House, two Senate committees, and has been approved by the
Senate majority and minority caucuses. The bill now moves to
the full Senate, where it could come up for a floor vote at any time. Please
email your senator TODAY in opposition to the bill.
H.B. 2541 could possibly allow an employer to fire a medical
marijuana patient based on a report alleging workplace impairment from a
colleague who is “believed to be reliable.” It also would seemingly allow
termination based on a positive drug test, which contradicts Proposition 203’s
language explicitly protecting patients from termination without proof of
workplace impairment or possession.
This bill could get a vote quickly, so please take a minute to ask
your senator to oppose this legislation.
Thanks for your continued support!
