Wyoming Drug Testing Law
Wyoming has voluntary drug testing laws. Companies that wish to qualify for up to a 10% discount on their workers’ compensation premiums must comply with these laws. Other companies are not mandated to comply. One of the two voluntary laws only establishes the discount and does not give any regulations on drug and alcohol testing procedures besides requiring an EAP. The other law establishes the bulk of the regulations dictating how drug testing is conducted. Note: This is only a summary and does not include specifics.
