An Act To Update Employer Substance Use Testing Policy Requirements

Summary

The law revises Maine’s substance‑use testing statutes to require employers to give workers with substance‑use disorders access to treatment and a quick return to work. It makes testing optional for most employers, sets clear limits on when testing can occur, and defines key terms such as “legitimate medical explanation” and “observable behavior.” The changes also carve out exemptions for nuclear facilities and federally mandated testing programs.
