How States Have Worked with the Alliance TEXAS In Texas, the Greater Dallas Crime Commission introduced a legislative package with ideas or suggestions from the state’s model drug law summit. Also, Texas high school students, Eastfield Community College, the Alliance and state legislators created a student video from the summit. Drug and alcohol courses include the video as part of their counselor training. NAMSDL treatment experts are advising the Texas treatment and education providers on recommendations for increased coordination of state drug and alcohol funding and services. Also, the Texas Workers’ Compensation Commission formally requested the NAMSDL's assistance in performing a feasibility study on developing legislation to allow workers’ compensation premium credits for employers who maintain drug-free workplace programs. NAMSDL's source materials, including model statutes and materials from states with existing premium reduction programs, serve as the foundation for the Commission’s work on this issue. Two members of the NAMSDL's National Drug-Free Workplace Task Force also participated in the Commission’s study group meetings.
