Summary

Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1998 - Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) businesses should adopt drug-free workplace programs; and (2) States should consider financial incentives, such as reductions in workers' compensation premiums, to encourage businesses to adopt such programs. Amends the Small Business Act to establish a drug-free workplace demonstration program, under which the Small Business Administration (SBA) may make grants to eligible intermediaries to provide financial assistance to small businesses seeking to start such a program. Outlines intermediary eligibility requirements. Requires a program to include: (1) a written policy, including prohibitions against substances in the workplace and violation consequences; (2) training for employees and supervisors; (3) employee drug testing; and (4) employee access to an assistance program. Authorizes appropriations. Requires small business development centers to provide information and assistance to small businesses in developing such programs. Authorizes the SBA Administrator to contract with and compensate government and private agencies or persons for the provision of services under this Act.
