     1  8    b.  "Confirmed positive test result" means, except

     1 10 7, paragraph "f", subparagraph (2), the results of a
     1 11 blood, urine, or oral fluid, or other permissible test
     1 12 in which the level of controlled substances or
     1 13 metabolites in the specimen analyzed meets or exceeds
     1 14 nationally accepted standards for determining
     1 15 detectable levels of controlled substances as adopted
     1 16 by the federal substance abuse and mental health
     1 17 services administration.  If nationally accepted
     1 18 standards for oral fluid tests have not been adopted
     1 19 by the federal substance abuse and mental health
     1 20 services administration, the standards for determining
     1 21 detectable levels of controlled substances for
     1 22 purposes of determining a confirmed positive test
     1 23 result shall be the same standard that has been
     1 24 established by the federal food and drug
     1 25 administration for the measuring instrument used to
     1 26 perform the oral fluid test.  For purposes of this
     1 27 paragraph, "other permissible test" means any test on
     1 28 a sample that is utilized by an agency of this state
     1 29 for the purpose of detecting illegal drugs.
     1 30    k.  "Sample" means such sample from the human body
     1 31 capable of revealing the presence of alcohol or other
     1 32 drugs, or their metabolites, which shall include only
     1 33 urine, saliva, breath, and blood, and any other
     1 34 permissible sample.  However, "sample" does not mean
     1 35 blood except as authorized pursuant to subsection 7,
     1 36 paragraph "l".  For purposes of this paragraph, "other
     1 37 permissible sample" means any sample from the human
     1 38 body that is utilized by an agency of this state for
     1 39 the purpose of detecting illegal drugs.>
