One city recently voted down an attempt to reduce its pre-employment test for drugs and alcohol.
The Greenwood, Miss., City Council unanimously voted down the idea and directed the city attorney to come up with a tighter version of the policy within the next 30 days, according to an article by The Greenwood Commonwealth.
The city currently conducts pre-employment testing for drugs on all potential employees and has the ability to conduct random testing on all hired employees except clerical workers. Also, any employee involved in a motor vehicle accident while on official business or during work hours is issued a drug test.
