What Michigan Jobs Will Still Require Drug Testing?
According to Fox 2 Detroit, drug testing exceptions include jobs requiring a commercial driver's license or those that operate heavy machinery, law enforcement, healthcare workers, jobs that work with prisoners, employees with unsupervised access to controlled substances, and jobs handling explosive materials.
When Will This Go Into Effect?
The Michigan Civil Service Commission voted to remove marijuana from the pre-employment drug screening for most jobs beginning October 1st.
We're also going to point out the obvious that drug testing will still include cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine after the October changes go into effect. The changes are centered around marijuana only.
