Abstract
We surveyed all 50 states to find out if testing for drugs of abuse outside of clinical laboratories was regulated. In 14 states such regulations existed or were contemplated. Eight additional states indicated that regulatory language does not restrict their oversight of such testing. Content of the regulations is described for each of these 22 states.
