This bill adds oral fluid (saliva) to the definition of a drug-testing sample. It lets local governments and public colleges and universities require blood, breath, oral fluid, hair, or urine samples, and allows sample collection that follows instructions prepared by an independent entity, rather than only collection by an independent entity.
