One month after District of Columbia voters approved recreational use of marijuana, the D.C. Council passed a new temporary law that would effectively ban employers from drug testing a prospective employee before a conditional offer of employment is made.
Introduced by At-Large Councilmember Vincent Orange in March, the legislation, Bill 20-1015 otherwise known as the Prohibition of Pre-Employment Marijuana Testing Emergency Act of 2014, prevents employers from drug testing job applicants until they are formally offered employment.
