Mississippi HB675 authorizes follow-up drug testing for law enforcement officers who test positive for illegal drug use.
Mississippi HB675 mandates that any full- or part-time law enforcement officer accused of drug use based on a urinalysis must be given the chance to undergo a more scientifically reliable test before facing termination or suspension without pay. If the officer contests the initial test results within two business days, they may submit to a hair follicle test at their own expense. If the hair follicle test is negative, the officer is reimbursed by the employer. If the test is positive, the officer bears the cost.
