This bill would require trucking companies to report positive hair drug test results to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. It applies to companies that use trucks weighing at least 10,000 pounds and covers pre-employment and random tests. Only results from approved labs and devices can be reported, and the Department of Transportation must set the rules within one year of the law taking effect.
What this means day to day: if a driver tests positive on a hair test, that result would go into the national database used by employers and regulators. This aims to keep unsafe drivers off the road and make hiring checks more complete. The rules will also be updated so that positive hair tests count as “actual knowledge” of a violation under safety regulations.
