Bill overview
This bill would require drug testing for individuals being considered as ‘special Government employees,’ a category that includes those with access to sensitive information like classified data or critical national security functions. It mandates both initial testing for prospective employees and a random drug testing program for current employees in ‘sensitive positions.’ Individuals who test positive would face ineligibility for employment or removal from their positions, with a minimum 12-month period of ineligibility following a positive test.
