A.  Any person aggrieved by a willful violation of the Standards
for Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Act may institute a civil
action in a court of competent jurisdiction within one (1) year of
the alleged willful violation or be barred from obtaining the relief
provided for in subsection B of this section.  A willful violation
of the Standards for Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Act requires
proof by the preponderance of the evidence that the employer had a
specific intent to violate the act.
B.  A prevailing party may be awarded lost wages to which the
person would have been entitled and an additional equal amount as

reasonable diligence by the aggrieved person shall operate to reduce
the lost wages otherwise allowable.  Reasonable costs and attorney
fees may be awarded to the prevailing party, whether plaintiff or
defendant.
