Candidates who have sought review of their positive drug or alcohol urine tests by the medical review officer and all employees who tested positive for drugs or alcohol urine tests may elect to have, at their expense, an aliquot of the original urine specimen retested by another laboratory that meets applicable provisions of any state licensure requirements and is certified in forensic urine drug testing by either the substance abuse and mental health services administration or the college of American pathologists. The drug testing laboratory shall arrange for the shipment of the aliquot to the laboratory of the candidates' or employees' choosing. The agency shall pay for the retest if the retest is negative.
