LEGISLATORS APPROVE A BILL TO BAN SALES OF URINE FOR DRUG TESTS

RALEIGH (AP) - The N.C. House and Senate unanimously approved legislation
yesterday to close businesses that sell urine.

The bill, which now goes to Gov. Mike Easley to be signed into law, was
designed to end a business run by a Hendersonville man convicted of
violating a similar law in South Carolina.

The law would make it a crime to distribute urine for the purposes of
altering drug-test results.

Selling additives that could be used to spike urine would also be illegal,
as would using them to alter test results.
