Bill > SF361

This bill amends Iowa's existing law on private sector employee drug testing. It clarifies the definition of a "safety-sensitive position" to include jobs where an accident could cause loss of human life, serious injury, or significant property/environmental damage. The bill also adds new provisions allowing employers to offer employees the option to receive certain notifications and make requests related to confirmatory drug tests through in-person exchange or electronic means, rather than only by certified mail. Additionally, the bill shifts the burden of proof in civil actions alleging unlawful drug testing to the employer, who must demonstrate compliance with the law's requirements.
