Last scannedOct 24, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This act requires hospitals in Wyoming to implement drug and alcohol testing programs for employees with safety-sensitive jobs, provides counseling options, and clarifies that using marijuana remains illegal.

What it does

  • Requires all hospitals to test their workers who have safety-sensitive jobs for drugs and alcohol randomly.
  • Offers help like counseling or treatment if someone tests positive instead of punishment.
  • Clarifies that hospital employees cannot use marijuana legally or illegally, even if it's allowed in other places.

Who it affects

  • Hospital workers who have jobs that need them to be very careful and safe.
  • Hospitals in Wyoming that want to keep their licenses from the state.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass and is now inactive, so it will not become a law.
