A Miami federal judge has ruled that Gov. Rick Scott’s attempt to require drug testing for state workers is unconstitutional.
In a ruling dated Wednesday and posted online Thursday, U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro found that Scott’s issuance last year of an executive order requiring drug testing violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The 37-page opinion also found that Scott did not justify the need for the tests.
