What Employers Need to Know about DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing
Non-Federal Testing
The Maine Substance Abuse Testing Law (Title 26 MRSA, Section 680 et seq) controls employer drug testing not performed in response to federal mandates. Any company that wants to have a substance abuse testing program (but is not required to under federal law) must submit a policy to the Maine Bureau of Labor Standards for review and approval.
Maine Bureau of Labor Standards model substance abuse testing policies are available here.
Attention Truckers!
