Florida Democrat files bill to protect medical marijuana rights for government employees
Jan 06, 2025
A newly elected Democrat filed a bill Friday to protect public employees from positive marijuana tests – if they have a medical prescription. Rep. Mitch Rosenwald, who represents part of Broward County, filed HB 83 in an attempt to shield state, county, and local government employees and job applicants with a prescription for marijuana from negative repercussions for using the drug offsite, an area where Florida statute is currently silent.
