On Drugs: Stronger measures against drugs at work

The legislature approved several measures to make Mississippi an even better place to do business. Government should create an environment to encourage the private sector to create more jobs. The state's workers' compensation law also was reformed to ensure a fair and impartial relationship between the worker and employer with provisions to better define the employee's choice of physician, implement stronger measures against workplace drug and alcohol use, and increase certain benefits.
