To require all state employees, county employees, and employees of county school boards to be subject to random drug testing
HB 2630 requires all state employees, county employees, and K-12 school employees (including teachers and volunteers like coaches) to undergo mandatory drug testing. The bill mandates pre-employment drug tests for all new hires and requires 10% of all employees to be randomly tested annually. These requirements begin on July 1, 2025, for state and county employees, and for the 2025-2026 school year for school staff. Each employer must adopt rules implementing these testing procedures, including the 10% annual random testing rate. The bill does not specify testing methods, penalties for positive results, or exceptions beyond the defined employee groups.
