AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services, within 90 days, to revise the federal workplace drug testing guidelines so that methadone is added to the opiate category of substances that can be tested. Within 60 days after that revision is published, the Secretary of Transportation would have to update drug testing rules for transportation workers to include methadone. The bill would also require Health and Human Services to review the guidelines every year and add other drugs it believes should be included. The Department of Transportation would then have 60 days to add those newly identified substances to its drug tests.
