Missouri House Bill No. 1280 Seeks to Punish Drug Test Cheats

Missouri State Rep. Jeff Roorda recently pre-filed House Bill No. 1280. If the bill is enacted it would add three new sections to the law relating to altering or falsifying drug or alcohol tests or test results, with penalty provisions. According to the Examiner.com, the bill will criminalize falsifying drug or alcohol test results, as well as make products designed to do so illegal. Sales or free distribution of such products would be a misdemeanor, while using such products would be a felony.

Random Drug Testing Benefits Employers

Drug testing programs aim to prevent the hiring of drug-using applicants while deterring drug use among current employees. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 21.4 percent of employed adults used illicit drugs within the past month.
