I believe the position falls under the protection of LABOR (LAB) CHAPTER 31, ARTICLE 7, SECTION 201-D SUBSECTION 2 PARAGRAPH b & c, so you should be ok.
2. Unless otherwise provided by law, it shall be unlawful for any
employer or employment agency to refuse to hire, employ or license, or
to discharge from employment or otherwise discriminate against an
individual in compensation, promotion or terms, conditions or privileges
of employment because of:
b. an individual's legal use of consumable products, including
cannabis in accordance with state law, prior to the beginning or after
the conclusion of the employee's work hours, and off of the employer's
premises and without use of the employer's equipment or other property;
c. an individual's legal recreational activities, including cannabis
in accordance with state law, outside work hours, off of the employer's
premises and without use of the employer's equipment or other property;

Question for you though -
I'm also in the process for a TMA position... or at least I think I am. I originally met with the majority of the interview panel at the Open House at PS248. At the end of the actual interview at 2 B'way, the main interviewer said to be patient but HR would reach out.
The only word I've received since was a request from the main interviewer the following week to complete the Family Member Disclosure Form, which I filled out and sent back the same day.
The interview was about 3 weeks ago but the Application Dashboard still shows "Applied".
I'm afraid to reach out -
1. I don't want to ruffle any feathers after being told to be patient, that it's a slow process.
2. I don't want to face a potential reality that I may no longer be in the running.
Did/Have you had a similar experience?
