Fiscal Detail and Notes
Requiring all flaggers at highway construction sites to submit to substance abuse testing would increase costs to construction projects.  The amount of the increase would depend on the number of flaggers hired, the number of flaggers already required to be subjected to substance abuse testing and the number of privately employed flaggers whose employer does not perform substance abuse testing.
