Bill > HB4158

This bill establishes a program for the random drug testing of state legislators in West Virginia, to be overseen by the Legislative Administrator and conducted during each regular legislative session. The program will include procedures for randomly selecting legislators for testing, ensuring no legislator is tested more than twice per session unless they have a positive initial test, and outlining how tests will be administered. If a legislator's initial drug test indicates the use of illegal drugs, they will be required to undergo a second test within 30 to 60 days, and if this second test also indicates illegal drug use, or if the legislator refuses to participate in the testing, this information will be made public. The Legislative Administrator is responsible for keeping all drug test results confidential, except in cases where a positive result or refusal to test triggers public disclosure as outlined in the bill.
