The Council’s bill would affect public and private employers in New York City, including companies with headquarters elsewhere, according to Jumaane D. Williams, the city’s public advocate and the bill’s sponsor. He said it was unclear exactly how many employers in the city screen employees for drugs and might be affected.
In addition to Mr. Williams’s bill, the city also passed a bill that would stop the city from requiring marijuana testing for people on probation. Both bills are currently awaiting Mayor Bill de Blasio’s signature.
What's that smell?? Oh yeah, upcoming Federal lawsuits in the air.
Forget the pot aspect. This is just one more example of leftists using the weight of government to force people to do with their own property (ie, a business) whatever the leftists have decided is in their interest.
The fact of the matter is a smart business owner will still get around all this nonsense.

That's my issue with it. I have nothing against weed users but I feel like it's government overreach to prevent private employers from testing.
