A new bill prefiled in the Missouri House, House Bill 38, would outlaw falsifying drug test results. HB 38 defines the crime as knowingly altering or falsifying drug or alcohol results by using or possessing with the intent to use any substance or device designed to defeat drug tests, submitting a false sample, submitting false documents, or making false material statements with the intent to alter or falsify drug or alcohol tests or test results. Altering or falsifying drug or alcohol tests would be a Class D Felony and persons found guilty would be imprisoned up to four years.
It would also be a crime to manufacture, possess, sell, give away, distribute, produce, or market such biological samples in the State of Missouri for the purpose of falsifying drug or alcohol test results. For the purpose of determining intent, the trier of fact may take into consideration whether or not verbal or written instructions or advice regarding any method of altering or falsifying drug tests or test results accompanied the sale of such adulterants. Persons who violate this section will be deemed guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor.
