HB1797

Summary

This Texas bill, read for the first time, would govern drug testing and prescription drug policies for employees and contractors of state agencies and political subdivisions as they relate to low-THC cannabis and hemp use. Formal protections or policies around low-THC cannabis use by public-sector workers could affect patient access to medical hemp products without fear of employment consequences.
