Pittsburgh City Council passes an ordinance protecting medical marijuana cardholders from employment discrimination.

The Pittsburgh City Council has passed a unanimous ordinance protecting medical marijuana cardholders from employment discrimination, allowing them to test positive without fear of termination, except in specific high-risk roles and under certain collective bargaining agreements. Employers can still prohibit on-site use and conduct tests after accidents or if impairment is suspected. The legislation awaits Mayor Ed Gainey's signature to take effect.
