Employee drug testing; employee notice requirements revised

Summary

The bill mandates that any Alabama employer with a drug or alcohol testing program must inform employees of the policy in writing and verbally, post the policy in a prominent area, and give at least ten days' notice before any policy change takes effect. It also requires employers to provide information about employee assistance resources or maintain a resource file if no program exists, and to encourage employees who test positive to seek rehabilitation before termination. The goal is to increase transparency and support for workers facing substance‑abuse issues.
