Two U.S. Dept. of Transportation rules go into effect Feb. 25, of which authorizes employers in the DOT’s drug and alcohol testing program to disclose to State commercial driver licensing authorities the drug and alcohol violations of employees who hold CDLs and operate commercial motor vehicles, when a State law requires such reporting.

According to the State Motor Vehicle Safety Office, Hawaii currently does not require such reporting. The other final rule makes technical amendments to DOT’s drug and alcohol testing procedures to authorize employers to begin using its updated Alcohol Testing Form and the Management Information System Data Collection Form. Both forms are found at http://www.dot.gov/ost/dapc/documents.html.
