Electronic Custody and Control Forms (eCCFs) are the electronic version of the traditional CCFs. This document is used for drug test ordering, specimen collection processing, and chain of custody documentation for workplace drug testing. The eCCF functions the same way as a paper CCF but speeds up turnaround times by up to 25% and prevents common user errors associated with paper forms. ECCFs eliminate errors due to illegible handwriting, incorrect procedures, using outdated or the wrong paper CCF, or inaccurate accounting/billing information.

Mississippi voters initially passed medical cannabis in November 2020 via ballot initiative, which contained favorable guidance for employers. However, in spring 2021 the state Supreme Court ruled the ballot initiative unconstitutional, effectively nullifying the program. Throughout 2021 and in to early 2022, legislators discussed possible next steps, resulting in the passage of Senate Bill 2095 (SB 2095) in early February 2022, re-legalizing cannabis in the state.

Spring 2021 brought about the legalization of recreational cannabis for individuals 21 and older in the state of New York. The Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act (the Act) was immediately effective and impacted workplace drug and alcohol testing practices. New York residents ages 21 and older can use, possess, and cultivate cannabis but are not permitted to do so in the workplace. Additionally, employers are broadly prohibited from testing for cannabis unless certain requirements are met and drug tests cannot be the basis for the determination that an individual is impaired.
