Should the Guam Legislature have an official drug policy, just like GovGuam's executive and judicial branches? Senator Jim Moylan continues to press the issue with rules chair Senator Regine Biscoe-Lee, and plans to raise it again when the committee meets tomorrow to set the session agenda.

Moylan withdrew his original drug policy resolution after Lee objected that "random testing" was a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizures. But citing overwhelming public response and he introduced a new resolution to make tests a condition of employment similar to the administration department's policy for the island's public sector.

But Senator Lee says the courts have made it clear that "the government cannot drug test all applicants for all jobs as a precondition for employment."

Lee says instead each senator has a duty to vet employees before offering them a job. Lee also expressed concern about the financial implications of worker lawsuits that successfully challenge the policy.

Moylan says while senators are exempt from the drug testing, there's no reason why they shouldn't voluntarily submit to it.
