relative to employment protection for participants in the therapeutic cannabis program.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New Hampshire law to presume that patients registered in the state's therapeutic cannabis program have a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to these patients unless doing so would cause significant difficulty or expense for the business. Additionally, the bill establishes a legal presumption that an employee using cannabis while on duty is a hardship for the employer, which could affect termination decisions.

relative to rights of tenants in cases of domestic violence.

Maddy summaryThis bill protects tenants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking by preventing landlords from evicting them solely based on their victim status. It allows victims to stay in their homes if they provide written proof of a protective order, a report to law enforcement, a statement from a professional, or a court-approved self-certification form. The law also permits victims to request new locks at their own expense to exclude abusers and clarifies that landlords cannot be held liable for damages caused by these lock changes. While the bill offers these protections, it explicitly states that landlords can still evict tenants for unrelated reasons such as nonpayment of rent. Additionally, the bill requires landlords to keep all information regarding a tenant's victim status strictly confidential.

relative to penalties for criminal violations of the therapeutic use of cannabis.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates the penalties for individuals who illegally sell cannabis to people who are not authorized medical patients or caregivers. It specifically removes a previous criminal penalty for such sales and instead mandates the revocation of the seller's registry identification card. The law applies to both qualifying patients and designated caregivers who violate these rules. These changes are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2025.
