(A) Drug testing requirements. The village is required by federal regulations to test for alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine. The village may, however, upon reasonable cause, require drivers to be tested for other illegal drugs. In such event, a second urine sample will be provided by the driver.
(B) Preparation for testing.

(a) Urine samples will be used for all controlled substance tests provided for herein.
(b) "Split sample" procedures will be used as outlined in part 40 of the FMCSR for all controlled substance tests conducted on or after August 15, 1994. Under this provision, a driver whose urine sample has tested positive for a controlled substance has the option (within 72 hours after being notified by the MRO) of having the remaining portion of the split sample tested at another laboratory at the driver's own cost. If the second test produces negative results, the test is considered negative and no further sanctions are imposed.

(c) The village will conduct alcohol testing in a location that allows visual and actual privacy to the individual being tested, sufficient to prevent unauthorized persons from seeing or hearing test results.
(d) No unauthorized persons will be permitted access to the testing location when the EBT remains unsecured or in order to prevent such persons from seeing or hearing a test result, at any time when testing is being conducted.
(e) The village will use the breath alcohol testing form as prescribed in part 40 of the regulations. A log book shall be used for any EBT used for screening tests that do not meet the requirements of part 40.53 (b) 1-3.
