Three drug-and-alcohol final rules published
Three final rules affecting Department of Transportation drug-and-alcohol testing programs were published in the Februrary 25 Federal Register. One authorizes employers and third-party administrators to disclose drug and alcohol violations to state CDL-licensing authorities in states that have a law requiring it. One updates the U.S. DOT Alcohol Testing Form and the Management Information System (MIS) Collection Form. The new alcohol test form can be used immediately. Its use is required by August 1, 2010. The MIS collection form is authorized for use in 2011 to report calendar year 2010 data. The third adopts an earlier interim rule’s procedures for using an alcohol screening device and represents no change to current regulations.
