Best Answer

All infants born in Tennessee must have a newborn screening specimen sent to the Tennessee State Laboratory for certain genetic conditions. Although this is not a drug test specifically, they do use blood samples for the screenings, so any drugs in the system will show during the tests and that information is then reported to the Department of Health.
