DOT Publishes Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Electronic Signatures, Forms and Storage for Drug and Alcohol Testing Records October 15, 2024, the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that could bring important changes to the workplace drug and alcohol testing for the federally regulated transportation industry. The proposal would allow, but not require: • The use of electronic signatures on required documents • Electronic versions of forms and the electronic storage of forms and data Currently, paper documents are required unless a DOT-approved electronic system is in place. The proposed changes are expected to offer greater flexibility and reduce costs while maintaining the integrity of testing processes. Comment period is open until December 16, 2024.
