H 110 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act requiring informed consent for marijuana testing

This bill requires health care facilities and providers in Massachusetts to obtain written informed consent before testing individuals for marijuana or THC. It also mandates that test results and the identity of the person tested cannot be shared with anyone else unless the individual provides specific written permission. The law treats violations of these consent requirements as a breach of the state's consumer protection statutes, ensuring that patients are fully aware of and agree to how their drug testing data is handled.
