23J Security agent authorised to control crowds may be required to undertake drug testing
A police officer or an authorised officer may, by notice in writing, direct a licensee to attend at a specified time and place for the purpose of undertaking a drug testing procedure to determine the level of any prescribed drug in any form in the blood or urine of the agent.
A notice under subsection (1) must specify what sample or samples are to be taken.
In the case of a drug testing procedure that involves the collection of a sample of urine, a police officer or an authorised officer may agree with the licensee on a different time or place to that specified in the notice under subsection (1).
A police officer or authorised officer may give directions reasonably required for purposes connected with the administration or enforcement of this section.
If a sample of blood or urine given by a licensee under this section is found on analysis to be a non-complying sample (within the meaning of the regulations), the Commissioner or the Commissioner of Police may—
determine the costs and expenses of carrying out the analysis;
and
recover the amount so determined from the licensee as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Regulations may be made under this section—
regulating the manner of taking and dealing with samples of blood and urine and their analysis; and
providing for certificate evidence for use in any proceedings as to the taking and analysis of any urine or blood sample and the authority of a person to carry out an analysis; and
requiring a licensee to produce the prescribed form of identification at the time a sample of blood or urine is taken, and providing that a failure to do so is taken to be a failure to comply with a direction under this section.
