HB 1039 clarifies the Human Resources Commissioner's power to create rules for drug screening programs that apply to certain state employees in patient care, safety-sensitive, and firefighting positions. The bill specifies seven areas where the commissioner can make rules, including which positions require testing, what substances to screen for, testing procedures, sample handling, confidentiality protections, treatment referrals, and consequences for positive results or refusal to test.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
