Letter of Intent for

"It is the intent of the House Judiciary Committee in passing HB 2,            
that the random testing for drugs and alcohol called for in the bill be        
done in a nonpredictable manner.  That is, merely because a person is

HB 2                                                                         
tested today does not mean they may not be tested again tomorrow.              
The legislature does not want to create a situation where someone              
subject to this act feels that, once tested, they will not be tested again     
until the next annual cycle.                                                   
                                                                               
                                                                               
In addition, the Committee has special concerns that the regulations           
promulgated to implement HB 2 should provide for careful attention             
to the handling of samples and other testing procedures to preclude the        
possibility of someone becoming falsely incriminated in the use of             
drugs or alcohol."
