“What counts as a proper drug test according to the law”

A compliant drug test is a test that follows specific rules. These rules are set out in section 431 of the law. When you take a drug test, it needs to meet all these requirements to be considered compliant. The government decides what these requirements are and writes them down in official regulations. This helps make sure that all drug tests are done in the same way and are fair for everyone.
