  3  5 impaired on the job if the employer is investigating
  3  6 an accident in the workplace and all of the following
  3  7 conditions are met:
  3  8    (1)  The employer has reasonable grounds to believe
  3  9 that the employee proposed to be tested either
  3 10 directly caused or directly contributed to the
  3 11 accident.
  3 12    (2)  The employer has reasonable grounds to believe
  3 13 that the employee's faculties were impaired and that

  3 15 causing the accident.

  3 17 which requires medical treatment away from the
  3 18 workplace or damage to property, including equipment,
  3 19 in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed three
  3 20 thousand dollars at the time of the accident.
  3 21    (4)  Prior to the accident, the employer has
  3 22 provided the employee to be tested with written notice
  3 23 of the employer's rules or policies regarding alcohol
  3 24 and controlled substances and testing when a workplace
  3 25 accident or injury occurs.

  3 32 shall test for and report to the employer only the
  3 33 presence of alcohol or illegal controlled substances
  3 34 in any test sample.  Upon request by an employee or
  3 35 applicant for employment, the employer shall provide
  3 36 to the employee or applicant the results of any drug
  3 37 test.  The rules adopted by the department of public

  3 42 the initial test utilizes immunoassay, the test kit
  3 43 must meet the requirements of the United States food
  3 44 and drug administration.
  3 45    (2)  Samples which have tested positive by initial
  3 46 testing, with the exception of alcohol, shall be
  3 47 confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or
  3 48 by a scientifically equivalent technique approved by
  3 49 the department.
  3 50    (3)  All initial positive drug test results with
  4  1 the exception of alcohol shall be confirmed by gas
  4  2 chromatography-mass spectrometry or an equivalent test
  4  3 approved by the department before being reported as
  4  4 positive or negative.
  4  5    (4)  All initial positive test results for alcohol
  4  6 shall be confirmed by gas chromatography, or a test
  4  7 that is recognized by the department as an equivalent
  4  8 test before being reported as positive or negative.

  4 10 alcohol shall not be issued in the absence of
  4 11 confirmation by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
  4 12 or a scientifically equivalent test approved by the
  4 13 department.
  4 14    (6)  Complete chain of custody procedures shall be
  4 15 used for referred specimens.  When sample volumes
  4 16 permit, it is recommended that only an aliquot of the
  4 17 original specimen be sent to a reference laboratory.
  4 18    Sec.    .  Section 730.5, subsection 7, Code 1995,
  4 19 is amended to read as follows:
  4 20    7.  A drug test conducted as a part of a physical
  4 21 examination performed as a part of a preemployment
  4 22 physical or as a part of a regularly scheduled
  4 23 physical is only permissible In addition to drug
  4 24 testing permitted by subsection 3, drug testing of an
  4 25 employee or applicant for employment shall also be
  4 26 permitted under the following circumstances:
  4 27    a.  For a drug test during a preemployment
  4 28 physical, the employer shall include notice that a
  4 29 drug test will be part of a preemployment physical in
  4 30 any notice or advertisement soliciting applicants for
  4 31 employment or in the application for employment, and
  4 32 an applicant for employment shall be personally
  4 33 informed of the requirement for a drug test at the
  4 34 first interview.
  4 35    If the test sample withdrawn from the applicant is
  4 36 analyzed by the state hygienic laboratory or a
  4 37 laboratory certified by, and at the request of, the
  4 38 state hygienic laboratory, the cost of the initial
  4 39 test of the sample shall not be paid for by the
  4 40 employer but shall be paid for by the state.
  4 41    b.  For a drug test during a regularly scheduled
  4 42 physical, the employer shall give notice that a drug
  4 43 test will be part of the physical at least thirty days
  4 44 prior to the date the physical is scheduled.
  4 45    c.  For a preemployment drug test not conducted as
  4 46 part of a preemployment physical, the employer shall
  4 47 provide that any sample taken for analysis be taken
  4 48 under the direct supervision of a person licensed
  4 49 under chapter 148, 148C, 150A, or 152, and that the
  4 50 sample shall be analyzed by the state hygienic
  5  1 laboratory or a laboratory certified by, and at the
  5  2 request of, the state hygienic laboratory.
  5  3    d.  An employer may require an employee, as a
  5  4 condition of employment, to undergo testing for
  5  5 illegal use of drugs if that employee has been
  5  6 referred by the employer for substance abuse
  5  7 evaluation pursuant to subsection 3, paragraph "f",
  5  8 and treatment, if recommended by the evaluation.  The
  5  9 employee may be required to undergo testing for
  5 10 illegal use of drugs without prior notice, but in no
  5 11 case shall more than three tests be conducted in the
  5 12 eighteen-month period following the employee's
  5 13 completion of substance abuse treatment if the
  5 14 treatment was recommended by the evaluation.  A drug
  5 15 test shall not be required of an employee by an
  5 16 employer during drug treatment of the employee, if
  5 17 such testing would duplicate testing of the employee
  5 18 conducted in the course of treatment and the employee
  5 19 has waived confidentiality as to the employer of the
  5 20 results of such testing.  An employer shall not
  5 21 require an employee to submit to testing for illegal
  5 22 use of drugs under this paragraph if more than
  5 23 eighteen months have elapsed since the employee
  5 24 successfully completed drug treatment and the employee
  5 25 has not had a drug test conducted indicating the
  5 26 presence of alcohol or an illegal controlled substance
  5 27 during that eighteen-month period.
  5 28    e.  If a preemployment drug test is conducted on an
  5 29 applicant who does not reside in this state, the
  5 30 sample taken for analysis shall be maintained under
  5 31 the supervision of a comparable licensed person in the
  5 32 state in which the test is conducted and the drug test
  5 33 shall be performed by a laboratory certified by United
  5 34 States department of health and human services.
  5 35    Drug testing conducted under this subsection shall
  5 36 conform to the requirements of subsection 3,
  5 37 paragraphs "c", "d", "e", and "f"; however, paragraph
  5 38 "f" shall not apply to preemployment drug tests
  5 39 conducted as a part of a preemployment physical.
  5 40    Sec.    .  Section 730.5, subsection 9, paragraph
  5 41 a, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  5 42    a.  A person who violates this section or who aids
  5 43 in the violation of this section is liable to an
  5 44 aggrieved employee or applicant for employment for
  5 45 affirmative relief including reinstatement or hiring,

  5 47 amount of one hundred dollars for each violation, or
  5 48 any other equitable relief as the court deems
  5 49 appropriate including attorney fees and court costs.
