HB 1284 -- Employee Misconduct

Sponsor:  Smith (118)

Effective October 1, 2006, a claimant's refusal to take or
invalidate or impede the accurate results of a test for alcohol
or controlled substances will be considered misconduct; and the
claimant will be disqualified for the waiting week credit and
benefits.  A claimant's admission that the results of a test
would be positive will be considered misconduct, and the claimant
will be disqualified for the waiting week credit and benefits.

This bill specifies that the test results and the medical review
officer's report will be included in the administrative record
and considered as evidence if the test for alcohol or controlled
substances was conducted by a laboratory certified by an
accrediting organization or professional society and approved by
the Division of Employment Security.
