A proposal to prohibit firing workers for trace amounts of marijuana in their systems moved closer to passage when the Illinois House of Representatives approved the measure earlier this month — but employers remain very leery about it. The chief sponsor, state Rep. Bob Morgan, a Democrat from the Chicago suburb of Deerfield and an attorney who does cannabis consulting, said the change would let people, especially medical cannabis users, use a legal product on their own time “and not fear losing their job.” But employers fear the change will only lead to more fights in court over who qualifies and how the law is applied. The House voted 61-41 to pass the bill, largely along partisan lines, with Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed.
