Summary

Requires federal agencies to drug-test special Government employees (SGEs) who hold sensitive positions. Agencies must administer a pre-employment drug test before an SGE’s first day of service and, within 90 days of enactment, enroll existing SGEs in sensitive positions in a random drug-testing program under the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs. A positive pre-employment test disqualifies a candidate from SGE appointment for at least 12 months; a positive random test for a serving SGE requires removal from the civil service and makes that person ineligible for SGE appointment for at least 12 months.

• Agencies must drug‑test proposed SGEs in sensitive positions before their first day of service under federal Mandatory Guidelines.
• Within 90 days of enactment, agencies must enroll existing SGEs in sensitive positions into a random drug‑testing program.
• A positive pre‑employment drug test makes an SGE candidate ineligible for appointment for at least 12 months.
• A positive random test for a current SGE requires removal from the civil service and a minimum 12‑month ineligibility for SGE appointment.
• Sensitive positions are defined by function: access to classified information, roles creating safety/security or national security risk, or mission‑critical duties.
• The bill relies on existing statutory definitions and the Mandatory Guidelines; it does not appropriate new funds or create new testing methods.
• Applies specifically to special Government employees, a category that includes short‑term consultants and some outside experts who serve in government roles.
• No exemptions or alternative remedial paths (e.g., treatment in lieu of removal) are specified in the text.
• Agencies are responsible for implementing enrollment and testing under the existing federal drug‑testing framework.
