California JPIA Hosts “Keeping Compliant with AB 2188 and SB 700: Employee Off-Duty Cannabis Use” Webinar

The California JPIA will host its next webinar on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Attendees will learn how to navigate two bills (AB 2188 and SB 700) as they relate to an employee’s use of cannabis.

California’s expanded cannabis employment anti-discrimination laws – AB 2188 and SB 700 – go into effect on January 1, 2024. This webinar will discuss what employers must do to comply with these laws. Attendees will learn about the new cannabis laws, compliant drug and alcohol policies, changes that need to be made to existing policies and procedures, changes to drug testing procedures, and other compliance issues. In addition, we will highlight the Authority resources available to members to assist with compliance with these new requirements.
