Does the new law allowing adult-use cannabis change <br /> anything about how we do drug g testi n for CDL holders? <br /> A51.No, cities with positions requiring an employee to hold a commercial driver's license <br /> will recall these ositions are re ulated b federal law and those re ulations are <br /> (CDL) p g Y � g <br /> supervised by the Federal Department of Transportation(DOT).Federal law preempts state law <br /> related to cannabinoid use,in fact,the DOT states in its DOT Recreational Marijuana Notice <br /> that it does not authorize the use of Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, for any reason.As a <br /> result, cities should continue to follow their drug-testing procedures related to CDL holders and <br /> may enforce prohibitions against an use of cannabinoids for CDL holders regardless of state <br /> Y � g <br /> law protections. <br /> Cities can find more 'information on existing drug testing policies in the LMC Drug and Alcohol. �r <br /> Testin Toolkit starting on page 22.An updated model Non-DOT Drug,Alcohol and Cannabis <br /> g � g p g P g� <br /> Policies will be available once legal consultants have reviewed. <br /> Return to top of page <br /> Q52.
