Alaska
has voluntary laws affecting drug and alcohol testing. No cause
of action may be brought against any employer that has
established an alcohol or drug testing program in accordance
with the law for adverse employment actions taken in good faith
based on a positive drug or alcohol test. Adoption of these
voluntary rules provides a "shield" against certain types of
litigation.
