1 19 test for the presence of drugs, as defined in section
1 20 730.5, prior to receiving certification or renewal of
1 21 certification as a prevention specialist. A positive
1 22 result on the drug test makes the applicant ineligible

1 24 Applicants shall be provided an opportunity to provide
1 25 any information that may be considered relevant to the
1 26 test, including identification of prescription or
1 27 nonprescription drugs currently or recently used, or
1 28 other relevant medical information. To assist an
1 29 applicant in providing the information described in
1 30 this subsection, the Iowa board of substance abuse
1 31 certification shall provide an applicant with a list
1 32 of the drugs to be tested. Drug testing shall include
1 33 confirmation of any initial positive test results.
1 34 For drug testing, confirmation shall be by use of a
1 35 different chemical process than was used in the
1 36 initial screen for drugs. The confirmatory drug test
1 37 shall be a chromatographic technique such as gas
1 38 chromatography or mass spectrometry, or another
1 39 comparably reliable analytical method.
1 40 All communications received by the Iowa board of
1 41 substance abuse certification relevant to an
1 42 applicant's drug test results, or otherwise received
1 43 through the drug testing program, are confidential
1 44 communications and shall not be used or received in
1 45 evidence, obtained in discovery, or disclosed in any
1 46 public or private proceeding, except as otherwise
1 47 provided or authorized by this subsection. An
1 48 applicant who is the subject of a drug test conducted
1 49 under this subsection and for whom a confirmed
1 50 positive test result is reported, shall, upon written
2 1 request, have access to any records relating to the
2 2 applicant's drug test, including records of the
2 3 laboratory where the testing was conducted and any
2 4 records relating to the results of any relevant
2 5 certification or review by a medical review officer.
2 6 Except as necessary to conduct drug testing under this
2 7 subsection and to file a report, a laboratory and a
2 8 medical review officer conducting drug testing under
2 9 this subsection shall not use or disclose to any
2 10 person any personally identifiable information
2 11 regarding such testing, including the names of
2 12 individuals tested, even if unaccompanied by the
2 13 results of the test."
