Today, May 2, 2023, the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule that, among other items, authorizes employers to use oral fluid drug testing as an alternative testing methodology to urine drug testing. The final rule also:

  • harmonizes with pertinent section of the HHS oral fluid Mandatory Guidelines,
  • clarifies certain Part 40 provisions that cover urine drug testing procedures,
  • removes provisions that are no longer necessary,
  • adds eight new definitions, clarifying language to definitions and web links, and
  • updates provisions to address issues that have risen in recent years.
