The ADA allows drug testing during the pre-employment process, as long as it is conducted consistently for all candidates. Testing for illegal drug use is not considered a medical examination under ADA.
Official Extract:
"Under the ADA, employers may conduct drug testing of applicants or employees, provided that tests are administered fairly and consistently and do not target individuals based on protected characteristics."
