Some Utah municipalities have asked employees to disclose if they are medical cannabis cardholders and then used that information to retaliate against them, said Senate Minority Leader Luz Escamilla, D-Salt Lake City, who is sponsoring the bill. That’s against state law. Utah code, however, doesn’t delineate any consequences for those who break the law. SB233, titled Medical Cannabis Amendments, tries to find punishment for those discrimination cases by withholding future state appropriations from state agencies or other political subdivisions, the bill reads.
