§ 8205. Reasonable Suspicion Testing.
(a) An employee may be tested when there is a reasonable suspicion that the employee may have engaged in drug, alcohol or substance use or appears by observable subjective factors to be impaired. The determination that reasonable suspicion exists must be based on specific, contemporaneous, articulable observations (seen, heard or smelled) concerning the appearance, behavior, speech or body odors of the employee. Testing is not based on conjecture or assumption, a feeling or guess based on intuition rather than known facts, or solely on the report of others.
