P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 2504
The Secretaries, Administrators, Directors and Heads of Agencies of the Executive Branch shall establish permanent Programs for the detection of controlled substances, which use reliable tests that allow the identification of officials and employees that use drugs, to treat and rehabilitate them in those cases that are provided by this chapter, so that they can perform their functions and duties in the public service faithfully and reliably.
These Programs shall be established in consultation with the Central Personnel Administration Office, the Mental Health and Addiction Services, the Forensic Sciences Institute, and the Department of Labor and Human Resources. All regulations shall be approved by the Department of Justice, which shall be responsible for evaluating their legality pursuant to the specific needs of each agency and public service agency. If the Department of Justice has not received the regulations of some agency when this act becomes effective, said agency shall adopt the model regulations that shall be drafted by the Department of Justice to such ends.
All agencies that are a part of an organization constituted under a Reorganization Plan shall adopt the same regulations under a single Program.
Those agencies that have established a testing program to detect the use of controlled substances as of the date of approval of this act, may keep them in effect, provided said program meets all the requirements consigned in this statute. To such ends, they shall review said programs and their regulations with the purpose of conforming them to the provisions of this chapter before it becomes effective.
