 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 6181

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 6, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern-
 ment Operations

 AN ACT to amend the cannabis law, in relation to employment at certain
 licensees for the purposes of parole conditions

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 6 of section 127 of the cannabis law is amended
 2 to read as follows:
 3 6. (a) A person currently under parole, probation or other state
 4 supervision, or released on recognizance, non-monetary conditions, or
 5 bail prior to being convicted, shall not be punished or otherwise penal-
 6 ized for conduct allowed under this chapter unless the terms and condi-
 7 tions of said parole, probation, or state supervision explicitly prohib-
 8 it a person's cannabis use or any other conduct otherwise allowed under
 9 this chapter. A person's use of cannabis or conduct under this chapter
 10 shall not be prohibited unless it has been shown by clear and convincing
 11 evidence that the prohibition is reasonably related to the underlying
 12 crime. Nothing in this provision shall restrict the rights of a certi-
 13 fied medical patient.
 14 (b) A person currently, or prospectively, under parole, probation or
 15 other state supervision, who as a condition of such parole, probation or
 16 other state supervision is required to be employed, may fulfill such
 17 employment requirement through employment at any licensee under this
 18 chapter unless the terms and conditions of said parole, probation, or
 19 state supervision explicitly prohibit such person's employment at such
 20 licensee.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
