If an employee fails a drug test administered pursuant to SDCL chapter <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=3-6F">3-6F</A>, or has been convicted of a violation of a criminal drug statute that occurred in the workplace, the appointing authority may require the employee to participate satisfactorily in an approved drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program that meets the requirements of article 55:05.
