AN ACT relating to workers' compensation.

This bill would change Kentucky's workers' compensation law to clarify that having certain levels of THC (the active compound in marijuana) in a worker's blood does not automatically mean a workplace injury was caused by being impaired. Under current law, the presence of certain substances in an employee's body can create a legal presumption that the substance caused the injury, and this bill would limit when that presumption applies to THC specifically. Who it may affect: workers who file workers' compensation claims and employers involved in workplace injury disputes.
