Now, for the first time anywhere, employers have electronic access to the most comprehensive reference tool for information dealing with drug and alcohol testing laws affecting the workplace. DTState Laws 2008 is a unique information service, combining the ease of CD-ROM with the flexibility of the Internet.

Did you know that . . .

. . . in 9 states it is a Crime for an employer to make a job applicant or employee pay for a drug or alcohol test;

. . . 14 jurisdictions limit random testing to safety sensitive jobs or forbid it completely;

. . . in 13 states employers who require employees to submit to drug tests must use an MRO; and,

. . . in 7 states employers may not be able to impose discipline when a worker tests positive the first time?


For any multi-state employer, keeping up with ever changing state laws related to drug and alcohol testing is nearly impossible. More than 400 laws may affect an employer's implementation of a drug or alcohol-testing program.

One employer recently settled a claim by a former worker whose test result was reported positive without being reviewed by a licensed physician. The state, in which the employee lived and worked, required such review, but the employer and the employer's program administrator did not know about the law.

It doesn't mean go to law school; it means a reliable source of state law information is essential, especially for multi-state employers. The most comprehensive information source to be found anywhere on this subject, DTState Laws 2008, is a multimedia subscription information service, presented on CD-ROM and the Internet. Subscribers have access to more than 500 related state statutes, 3,000 court decisions, an Issues Forum, State News, Employer Notes (the who, what, where, when, and how of testing) and much more.

This multimedia publication combines the ease of CD-ROM use and the immediacy of web site real-time updates and interactive exchanges of information, a unique and invaluable tool for anyone involved in developing or administering a workplace drug or alcohol-testing program. Full text versions of all known laws and cases that could effect efficient operation of an employer-testing program are included.
