JD Supra has announced that Scott Horton‘s article “New York Protects Employee Marijuana Use” ranked as the legal news source’s third-most read cannabis law update in 2021.

This article, originally published on Horton Law PLLC’s New York Management Law Blog, summarizes the impact of the recent legalization of recreational use of marijuana on New York workplaces. It discusses the extent of employee protections and employer restrictions under an amended provision of the state Labor Law.

In the April article, Scott noted, “We are at the very beginning of understanding what legal recreational use of marijuana will mean for New York workplaces. Additional regulations may be on the way. And we’ll gain a better understanding of how various constituents will handle the employee marijuana use protections over time.”
