(1) The purpose of this act is to
promote alcohol and drug-free workplaces and otherwise support employers in
their efforts to eliminate substance abuse in the workplace, and thereby
enhance workplace safety and increase productivity. This act establishes
voluntary drug and alcohol testing guidelines for employers that, when
complied with, will find an employee who tests positive for drugs or alcohol
at fault, and will constitute misconduct under the employment security law as
provided in section 72-1366, Idaho Code, thus resulting in the denial of
unemployment benefits.
(2) It is the further purpose of this act to promote alcohol and
drug-free workplaces in order that employers in this state be afforded the
opportunity to maximize their levels of productivity, enhance their
competitive positions in the marketplace and reach their desired levels of
success without experiencing the cost delays and tragedies associated with
work-related accidents resulting from substance abuse by employees.
