No. Alaska does not have any mandatory drug testing statutes or regulations but it is recommended.
Is a Drug-Free Workplace policy required in Alaska?
No, however, employers are strongly encouraged to have a written policy in place (Policy is specifically required to comply with the states’ voluntary law).
Are employers in Alaska able to use drug screening for any other claim defenses or state-specific financial benefits?
