SB 12 allows employers in South Dakota to test employees and job applicants for cannabis use and take action based on those results, even in situations where cannabis use might otherwise be legally protected. The bill removes previous restrictions that limited employers' ability to enforce cannabis-free workplace policies and workplace conduct rules related to cannabis use.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
