Would Nevada pay for the damages inflicted by these workers?
this isnt going to hold water.
all Fedgov contractors have to have drug testing and since marijuana use is a federal crime, any contractor who has employees who test for positive for marijuana use will lose fedgov contracts.
Seen this up close.
I can remember back a number of years seeing Home Depot signs in their windows:
Now Hiring-—
IF YOU USE DRUGS, DON”T BOTHER WE TEST
I don’t know how many Home Depot stores there are in Nevada, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them close up.
This new law is beyond stupid.
Workmen’s Comp won’t pay for injuries to a drug user. Neither will your company liability.
Why should ANY employer /company wish to take their business to Nevada only to be hammered by this insane law.
I wonder how all the new businesses like Tesla & Panasonic & Switch are feeling about this???
Would have saved some typing if people would RTFA.
“There are some exceptions. The law does not apply to firefighters, EMTs, employees who operate a motor vehicle, or those who, in the determination of the employer, could adversely affect others’ safety.”
This law doesn’t touch those who already work at a place. It only covers applicants.
Put all the prospective hires in a room for a couple hours with a big bowl of really smelly Doritos and no napkins. Those with clean hands after 2 hours get the job based on personal hygiene. The potheads will be shown the door.
