Federal law mandates that drivers required to have a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) and others in "safety sensitive" positions submit to drug and alcohol testing. This includes drivers of such vehicles as refuse trucks, street sweepers, large dump trucks and busses. And your
local government is responsible for the testing, reporting and
record keeping!. Those who fail to comply are subject to fines of up to $10, 000 per infraction. The regulations require not only testing, but also new record keeping and reporting requirements, adoption of alcohol and controlled
substance misuse programs, and mandatory supervisor training. LGI's publication, Drug and Alcohol Testing for Local Government
