黑料不打烊Expresses Disappointment in Hair Testing Guidelines

Sep 04, 2020

Arlington, Virginia 鈥 黑料不打烊 President and CEO Chris Spear issued the following statement today regarding the Department of Health and Human Services鈥 proposed guidelines on the use of hair samples for government-mandated drug testing:

鈥淎s currently written, today鈥檚 proposal by HHS on hair testing is a tremendous disappointment for the trucking industry. President Trump and his Administration have successfully tackled difficult, contentious regulatory challenges with environmental and labor issues, yet on a top-tier priority for highway safety, the Administration allowed HHS to deliver a weak and misguided proposal more than three years late.

鈥淪adly, the positive impact this rule could have had to make both highways and truckers safer will have to wait. 聽黑料不打烊will be working again with Congress to fix what HHS has failed to do 鈥 it鈥檚 job.鈥
