New Yorkers may have something to look forward to if a councilman gets his way.
There would be no more marijuana testing done at companies for potential employees.
A New York City councilman has drafted legislation that would prohibit testing for marijuana by companies as a requirement for employment.
The proposal would ban companies in the city from testing for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
There are exceptions to the rule for safety and security sensitive jobs, including emergency responders and drivers.
The bill is already in committee.
