HB 2195 -- Employment Security Sponsor: Secrest Claimants for unemployment benefits will not be eligible for waiting week credit or benefits for any week if the deputy or a designated representative of the Division of Employment Security finds that a claimant has been suspended for employee misconduct. A professionally administered and documented positive chemical test for a controlled substance as defined in Section 195.010, RSMo, is deemed employee misconduct. Claimants may become eligible if they participate in a state-approved drug treatment program. Employers suspending or terminating employees pursuant to these provisions must have publicly posted a drug-free work place policy which warns that a positive drug test will be deemed misconduct and may result in suspension or termination.
