Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: 3-10-18 idea for TX Leg: expand drug testing of municipal employees

A respectful FYI to each of you on the following March 10-dated public-policy letter of mine to my duly-elected state lawmaker in the Texas House, State Rep. Gina Hinojosa of Austin, Texas, in which I cited a state law in Oklahoma.

It is my hope that the cited Oklahoma state law might possibly offer ideas for state lawmakers here in Austin on how the Texas Legislature could expand the number and scope of circumstances in Texas in which a municipal-government employee or a municipal-government official, such as a City Manager or a City Council member or department head, could be legally required by a municipal government in Texas to undergo drug testing.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

To: State Representative Gina Hinojosa of the Texas Legislature in Austin, Texas.

March 10, 2018

Dear State Rep. Hinojosa,

As a law-abiding, gainfully employed, single adult male constituent of yours in northwest Austin, I appreciate your great dedication to pursuing factual research on behalf of generating proposed revisions to existing state laws and proposals for new state laws in Texas.

During my leisuretime this weekend, I have been pursuing online research about drug testing of employees by municipal governments in the United States.

I am pursuing this factual research because I feel very strongly that the integrity of all municipal governments in Texas, and the public-safety of all Texans, will be greatly enhanced when the percentage of all municipal employees in Texas who are drug addicts is as close to zero as possible.

State Rep. Hinojosa, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you if you are planning to recommend any revisions to state law in Texas that significantly increase the number and scope of circumstances in which a municipal government---including the City Government of Austin in this very influential state-capital city---is either required or authorized by the Texas Legislature to conduct drug testing on one or more cited municipal employees or municipal-government officials, such as City Council Members or the Mayor or City Manager or a department head, of that municipal government in our state.

On behalf of that type of public-policy goal for Texas, I have pursued online Google searches late this Friday night and Saturday morning inside my rental apartment unit in the District 10 section of Austin. District 10 is the local district in which the Austin City Council Member directly and officially representing any and all persons residing in that local district on City Council is Dr. Alison Alter (who, as you know, has reportedly prohibited me ever since March 9, 2017, from ever again myself directly contacting Dr. Alter or any of the City Hall staff members whom she directly supervises).

In my online research this weekend, I have been very pleased to find an item about a pertinent state law in our neighboring state of Oklahoma.

That item can be found at the following blogsite address:

https://www.omag.org/news/2016/5/24/drug-testing-municipal-employees-1

That blogsite address provides a link to a May 24, 2016, blog, "Drug Testing Municipal Employees," that was written by Suzanne Paulson of Oklahoma.

The blog notes that Ms. Paulson is the Associate General Counsel of the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group (OMAG). That Edmond, Oklahoma-based organization provides insurance and risk management solutions for municipal governments throughout Oklahoma.

The cited office phone number for Ms. Paulson at OMAG headquarters in Edmond, Oklahoma, is:
(405) 657-1400. Her E-mail address: spaulson@omag.org.


According to Ms. Paulson's May 2016 blog, state law in Oklahoma authorizes (and I did not check to find out if that law has since been revised by the Oklahoma Legislature) drug testing of municipal-government employees or prospective new municipal-government employees in that southwestern state for any of the following reasons:

---if the individual is applying for employment by a municipal government in Oklahoma;
---if a municipal employee in Oklahoma is being transferred or reassigned to a different position or a different job;
---if a municipal employee in Oklahoma was involved in a workplace accident that reportedly caused an injury or property damage;
---if a municipal employee in Oklahoma is being required to take a routine "fitness-for-duty" exam;
---if a municipal employee in Oklahoma has been in a rehabilitation program (and I myself am assuming this may refer to a drug-addiction treatment program) for which a follow-up drug test on that employee is then legally permitted by state law.
---if a municipal-government employer in Oklahoma has reason to suspect that an employee of that municipal government is under the influence of drugs at the workplace. That might occur, for instance, if a municipal government employer in Oklahoma directly observes an employee with drugs at the workplace, or if a municipal-government employer in Oklahoma notices an "unexplained pattern of absences and tardiness, or employee behavior that suggests impairment".
---if a municipal government employee in Oklahoma is employed in a "safety sensitive position" as defined by state law. For employees fitting that state-mandated description, random drug testing on themselves is authorized by state law in Oklahoma.

Rep. Hinojosa, would you like to see state law in Texas revised to specify any additional circumstance or any additional circumstances in which a municipal government is required or authorized by the Texas Legislature to conduct or sponsor drug testing on cited employees or cited officials of that municipal government?

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
