"The Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory with a population of approximately 56,000 people, has signed legislation into law ending pre-employment marijuana screening as a requirement for most government jobs.

Public Law 23-27 eliminates pre-employment testing for most public jobs. However, the ban does not apply to those seeking safety-sensitive positions or those subject to federal drug testing regulations.

The US territory legalized the retail sale and use of cannabis in 2018."
