Current Bill Summary
SB 190 - This act deems a positive test result for
controlled substances or for blood alcohol content of eight-
hundredths of one percent or more as misconduct connected with
work. Claimants suspended or terminated for a positive test
result are ineligible for benefits. Such claimants may become
eligible if they participate in a state-approved drug or alcohol
treatment program.
Employers suspending or terminating employees pursuant to
this act must publicly post a controlled substance and alcohol
workplace policy which warns that a positive test result will be
deemed misconduct and may result in suspension, treatment
intervention, or termination.
This act is similar to the perfected Senate version of SB
1005 (2002).
