How States Have Worked with the Alliance
UTAH
Utah has passed several bills regarding gang and drug dealing penalty enhancements, methamphetamine lab cleanup and precursor law enforcement, compulsory education and truancy. Resolutions require more coordination of methamphetamine lab cleanup and public safety standards and programs. Study resolutions require a look at incentives for drug-free workplace programs, cleanup of toxic contamination from illegal drug laboratories, asset forfeiture laws, and drug rehabilitation tax credits. Also, the state’s Crime Prevention Council, in partnership with the Utah Labor Commission and NAMSDL, held a statewide drug-free workplace conference in November 2001. This event led to the drafting of a bill which would allow Utah employers a rebate or similar incentive for establishing and maintaining drug-free workplace programs. Conference materials were largely NAMSDL publications and members of the NAMSDL's Drug-Free Workplace Task Force also presented at the event.
