Nevada has become the first state to ban employers from discriminating against workers for marijuana use, with some exceptions.
Governor Steve Sisolak signed Assembly Bill No. 132 on Friday, which makes it unlawful for an employer to fail or refuse to hire someone because they tested positive for marijuana on a drug screening test.

Jobs that require federal funding are also exempt because marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.
