Sec. 3. If an employee tests positive on a drug test, and the employee does not have a valid prescription for the substance for which the employee tested positive on the drug test, the home health agency shall have the results of the test verified by a confirmation test. The employee shall pay for the confirmation test. If the positive test result is confirmed, the home health agency shall either discharge the employee or suspend the employee from coming into direct contact with patients for at least six (6) months after the date of the confirmation test result. An employee who has a valid prescription for the substance for which the employee tested positive on a drug test may not be terminated or suspended under this subsection.
