Section 31-236-37 - Discharge-addiction to alcohol or drugs

The Administrator shall consider addiction to alcohol or other drugs to be an illness. Where the Administrator finds that an individual was discharged for misconduct resulting from alcohol or drug usage and it is established, by competent medical or professional evidence or testimony that the individual is physically addicted to alcohol or any other drug, such misconduct shall not be deemed intentional or deliberate or reckless, and therefore shall not constitute wilful misconduct under section 31-236-26a.
