<p>Based on an executive order from the president of the U.S., this proposal would replace the word “gender” with “sex” throughout the DOT’s drug and alcohol testing regulations. “‘Sex’’ shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female,” said the executive order. “‘Sex’ is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of ‘gender identity.’” The DOT proposal also continues its previously-published proposal to require a directly observed urine collection in situations where oral fluid tests are currently required, because oral fluid testing is not yet available. Comments are due by Nov. 15, 2025.</p>
