This bill never became law.
This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions
of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.
| Last Action: | Apr 17, 2008:
Referred to the Subcommittee on Health. | Related: | See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms
that have been applied to this bill.
Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

I don't know for sure but I would assume that you would be excused from drug tests if you had a doctor's note. Answered by a visitor on Dec 15, 2008 6:22 PM -
Doctor's note or not, drug tests are for the insurance companies, period. Chances are, your boss doesn't care if you get high as long as you show up for work and perform as expected. But the drug test is an out for the insurance company. To them, it's logical to deny a claim on the basis of drug use. Your employer signs a contract with said company stating explicitly that claims will be denied if something is amiss in your piss. |
