South Dakota Drug & Alcohol Testing General Guidelines



Testing of Public-Sector Job Applicants - South Dakota, which heretofore had no state laws on drug testing, enacted a simple and straightforward law regarding testing of state job applicants. Drug screening of job applicants for designated public-sector facilities was established. Notices and advertisements regarding job openings at these state facilities must include the requirements of the drug testing program. The Commissioner of the South Dakota Bureau of Personnel has rule-making authority regarding the drug testing procedures, and only the Commissioner can provide test results to job applicants, which he or she must do upon written request.
