A uniform requirement for employers that want to conduct alcohol or drug testing of applicants or employees is that all testing be done pursuant to a written policy that has been provided in advance to every employee subject to testing, and is available for review by applicants and employees. In March, Governor Kim Reynolds signed House File 2383, which amends Iowa Code Section 730.5(9)(3) to lower the minimum level of alcohol concentration Iowas private employers can use for a positive alcohol test from .04 to .02 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
