Description
Home health aides; drug testing. Prohibits a home health care organization from employing a person who has been found guilty of possessing or distributing drugs unless the home health care organization finds that the person has been successfully rehabilitated and is not a risk to consumers, and requires a home health organization to investigate any complaints alleging that a home health aide employed by the organization has possessed or distributed illegal drugs in the course of his employment. Such investigation may include a substance abuse screening and, where the screening gives reasonable cause to believe that the person has been using drugs, may require a drug test. Read the Bill »
