BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-Richard G. Skarritt,. Chairperson
RE: HOUSE BILL 5006 (SUPPORT) ESTABLISHING A PRE-EMPLOYMENT
AND DRUG TESTING REGULATION ACT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson., Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS three bills,, proposing an employee drug/chemical
testing regulation act,, have been introduced to date in the 1987-88
session of the State Legislature; and
WHEREAS while some subcommittee work has been done on
this proposed legislative concept, none of the three bills has moved
from its original committee; and
WHEREAS the County Executive's Office was asked to review
and evaluate House Bills 4815 and 5006 and Senate Bill 407 and to
make a recommendation; and
WHEREAS the County Executive's study concluded that House
Bill 4815 had several shortcomings including elimination of pre-employment
testing and the requirement that the county would be liable for
all costs - testing,: confirmation,, second confirmation if requested,.
counseling, rehabilitation and even travel costs; and
WHEREAS while Senate Bill 407 was found to be better than
House Bill 4815,, the Senate bill also had its shortcomings, mainly
because of vague language on testing in four sections of the bill;
and
WHEREAS House Bill 5006 was found to conform almost entirely
with the county's present drug testing policy and the County Executive
recommends support of this bill in its current form.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners supports House Bill 5006 as introduced.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
sent to all State Legislators from Oakland County and to the county's
Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson., on behalf of the General Government Committe,
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
