Minnesota Adjusts Workplace Drug Testing Regulations to Add Oral Fluid Testing

Minnesota recently adjusted its mandatory drug, alcohol, and cannabis testing law to permit employers to perform oral fluid testing that is exempt from the state’s laboratory testing requirements. Though the updates do not specifically use the words “rapid result” or “onsite”, it clearly states that oral fluid can be used for non-laboratory testing and results must be given at the time a test occurs, making it clear that it is referring to POCT oral fluid. Oral fluid tests complying with the regulatory updates will be permitted as of August 1, 2024, for drug, alcohol, and cannabis testing purposes.
