Bill 119 HR 2578, also known as the "Special Government Employee Drug Testing Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to require drug testing for special government employees. These employees are individuals who are appointed to serve in a temporary or part-time capacity for the federal government.
The bill mandates that these special government employees must undergo drug testing as a condition of their appointment. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that individuals serving in these roles are not under the influence of drugs, which could potentially impair their judgment or performance while carrying out their duties.
In addition to the drug testing requirement, the bill also includes provisions for the establishment of guidelines and procedures for conducting the drug tests, as well as penalties for individuals who fail to comply with the testing requirements.
Overall, the Special Government Employee Drug Testing Act is aimed at promoting accountability and ensuring the integrity of the federal government by ensuring that individuals serving in temporary or part-time roles are not using drugs that could compromise their ability to effectively carry out their responsibilities.
