Summary: This bill modifies the general labor code as a clean up bill. Employers cannot charge prospective or current employees the expenses of medical examination, including phsyical exams and drug testing. A reimbursement arrangement is also prohibited.&nbsp;

Upon receipt of a violation, the Division of Antidiscriminiation and Labor will investigate and could incur penaty and fines. It is proposed a person that violates the provisions is guilty of a class B misdemeanor.&nbsp;

David's Personal take: I don't see big changes from the original code. It was already prohibited for employers to change medical fees of employees or prospective employees.&nbsp; The new language is more clear and follows the patterns of other code sections. It looks like the penalties increase or allow different penalty options for the Labor Commission.&nbsp;

*General Disclaimer: David's take is is his own personal opinion and is non legal binding nor is the official position of the Chapter.&nbsp;
