Murphy of Dubuque offered the following amendment H-1074 filed
by Murphy, et al., and moved its adoption:

H-1074

 1     Amend House File 299 as follows:
 2     1.  By striking everything after the enacting
 3   clause and inserting the following:
 4     "Section 1.  Section 730.5, subsection 1, Code
 5   1997, is amended to read as follows:
 6     1.  As used in this section, unless the context
 7   otherwise requires:
 8     a.  "drug Drug test" means any blood, urine,
 9   saliva, chemical, or skin tissue test conducted for
10   the purpose of detecting the presence of a chemical
11   substance in an individual.
12     b.  "Preemployment" means that period of time
13   between when a bona fide offer of employment is made
14   and when employment begins.
15     Sec. 2.  Section 730.5, subsection 2, Code 1997, is
16   amended to read as follows:
17     2.  Except as provided in subsection 7, an employer
18   shall not require or request employees or applicants
19   for employment to submit to a drug test as a condition
20   of employment, preemployment, promotion, or change in
21   status of employment.  An employer shall not request,
22   require, or conduct random or blanket drug testing of
23   employees.  However, this section does not apply to
24   preemployment drug tests authorized for peace officers
25   or correctional officers of the state, or to drug
26   tests required under federal statutes or under federal
27   regulations adopted as of July 1, 1990, or to drug
28   tests conducted pursuant to a nuclear regulatory
29   commission regulation, or to drug tests conducted to
30   determine if an employee is ineligible to receive
31   workers' compensation under section 85.16, subsection
32    2.
33     The exemption granted by this subsection relating
34   to drug testing pursuant to federal regulations
35   adopted as of July 1, 1990, is of no effect, as it
36   applies to a particular regulation, upon a finding by
37   a court of competent jurisdiction, including any
38   appeal of such finding, that the particular regulation
39   is unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.  The
40   decision of a court invalidating any regulation
41   exempted by this section shall not be stayed pending
42   appeal.
43     Sec. 3.  Section 730.5, subsection 3, paragraph a,
44   Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
45     a.  The employer has probable cause to believe that
46   an employee's faculties are impaired on the job.  For
47   purposes of this paragraph, an employer has probable
48   cause to believe that an employee's faculties are
49   impaired on the job if the employer is investigating
50   an accident in the workplace and all of the following

Page 2  

 1   conditions are met:
 2     (1)  The employer has reasonable grounds to believe
 3   that the employee proposed to be tested either
 4   directly caused or directly contributed to the
 5   accident.
 6     (2)  The employer has reasonable grounds to believe
 7   that the employee's faculties were impaired and that
 8   the impairment was likely a substantial factor in
 9   causing the accident.
10     (3)  The accident results in a personal injury
11   which requires medical treatment away from the
12   workplace or damage to property, including equipment,
13   in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed three
14   thousand dollars at the time of the accident.
15     (4)  Prior to the accident, the employer has
16   provided the employee to be tested with written notice
17   of the employer's rules or policies regarding alcohol
18   and controlled substances and testing when a workplace
19   accident or injury occurs.
20     Sec. 4.  Section 730.5, subsection 3, paragraph c,
21   Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
22     c.  The test sample withdrawn from the employee is
23   analyzed by a laboratory or testing facility that has
24   been approved under rules adopted by the department of
25   public health.  The laboratory or testing facility
26   shall test for and report to the employer only the
27   presence of alcohol or illegal controlled substances
28   in any test sample.  Upon request by an employee or
29   applicant for employment, the employer shall provide
30   to the employee or applicant the results of any drug
31   test.  The rules adopted by the department of public
32   health shall provide for all of the following:
33     (1)  The initial screening test may utilize
34   immunoassay, thin layer, high performance liquid or
35   gas chromatography, or an equivalent technology.  If
36   the initial test utilizes immunoassay, the test kit
37   must meet the requirements of the United States food
38   and drug administration.
39     (2)  Samples which have tested positive by initial
40   testing, with the exception of alcohol, shall be
41   confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or
42   by a scientifically equivalent technique approved by
43   the department.
44     (3)  All initial positive drug test results with
45   the exception of alcohol shall be confirmed by gas
46   chromatography-mass spectrometry or an equivalent test
47   approved by the department before being reported as
48   positive or negative.
49     (4)  All initial positive test results for alcohol
50   shall be confirmed by gas chromatography, or a test

Page   3

 1   that is recognized by the department as an equivalent
 2   test before being reported as positive or negative.
 3     (5)  Preliminary reports for drugs other than
 4   alcohol shall not be issued in the absence of
 5   confirmation by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
 6   or a scientifically equivalent test approved by the
 7   department.
 8     (6)  Complete chain of custody procedures shall be
 9   used for referred specimens.  When sample volumes
10   permit, it is recommended that only an aliquot of the
11   original specimen be sent to a reference laboratory.
12     Sec. 5.  Section 730.5, subsection 7, Code 1997, is
13   amended to read as follows:
14     7.  A drug test conducted as a part of a physical
15   examination performed as a part of a preemployment
16   physical or as a part of a regularly scheduled
17   physical is only permissible In addition to drug
18   testing permitted by subsection 3, drug testing of an
19   employee or applicant for employment shall also be
20   permitted under the following circumstances:
21     a.  For a drug test during a preemployment
22   physical, the employer shall include notice that a
23   drug test will be part of a preemployment physical in
24   any notice or advertisement soliciting applicants for
25   employment or in the application for employment, and
26   an applicant for employment shall be personally
27   informed of the requirement for a drug test at the
28   first interview.
29     If the test sample withdrawn from the applicant is
30   analyzed by the state hygienic laboratory or a
31   laboratory certified by, and at the request of, the
32   state hygienic laboratory, the cost of the initial
33   test of the sample shall not be paid for by the
34   employer but shall be paid for by the state.
35     b.  For a drug test during a regularly scheduled
36   physical, the employer shall give notice that a drug
37   test will be part of the physical at least thirty days
38   prior to the date the physical is scheduled.
39     c.  For a preemployment drug test not conducted as
40   part of a preemployment physical, the employer shall
41   provide that any sample taken for analysis be taken
42   under the direct supervision of a person licensed
43   under chapter 148, 148C, 150A, or 152, and that the
44   sample shall be analyzed by the state hygienic
45   laboratory or a laboratory certified by, and at the
46   request of, the state hygienic laboratory.
47     d.  An employer may require an employee, as a
48   condition of employment, to undergo testing for
49   illegal use of drugs if that employee has been
50   referred by the employer for substance abuse

Page   4

 1   evaluation pursuant to subsection 3, paragraph "f",
 2   and treatment, if recommended by the evaluation.  The
 3   employee may be required to undergo testing for
 4   illegal use of drugs without prior notice, but in no
 5   case shall more than three tests be conducted in the
 6   eighteen-month period following the employee's
 7   completion of substance abuse treatment if the
 8   treatment was recommended by the evaluation.  A drug
 9   test shall not be required of an employee by an
10   employer during drug treatment of the employee, if
11   such testing would duplicate testing of the employee
12   conducted in the course of treatment and the employee
13   has waived confidentiality as to the employer of the
14   results of such testing.  An employer shall not
15   require an employee to submit to testing for illegal
16   use of drugs under this paragraph if more than
17   eighteen months have elapsed since the employee
18   successfully completed drug treatment and the employee
19   has not had a drug test conducted indicating the
20   presence of alcohol or an illegal controlled substance
21   during that eighteen-month period.
22     e.  If a preemployment drug test is conducted on an
23   applicant who does not reside in this state, the
24   sample taken for analysis shall be maintained under
25   the supervision of a comparable licensed person in the
26   state in which the test is conducted and the drug test
27   shall be performed by a laboratory certified by United
28   States department of health and human services.
29     Drug testing conducted under this subsection shall
30   conform to the requirements of subsection 3,
31   paragraphs "c", "d", "e", and "f"; however, paragraph
32   "f" shall not apply to preemployment drug tests
33   conducted as a part of a preemployment physical.
34     Sec. 6.  Section 730.5, subsection 9, paragraph a,
35   Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
36     a.  A person who violates this section or who aids
37   in the violation of this section is liable to an
38   aggrieved employee or applicant for employment for
39   affirmative relief including reinstatement or hiring,
40   with or without back pay, liquidated damages in the
41   amount of one hundred dollars for each violation, or
42   any other equitable relief as the court deems
43   appropriate including attorney fees and court costs.
44     Sec. 7.  Section 730.5, subsection 11, Code 1997,
45   is amended by striking the subsection.
46     Sec. 8.  Section 730.5, Code 1997, is amended by
