				negative results, the licensee shall remain suspended with the following
				exceptions:
(A) For a licensee's first
				violation, he or she may take a drug test after thirty (30) days from the first
				violation of this article known as the immediate drug test. Provided the
				immediate drug test is negative, the licensee's suspension will be lifted, by
				amending the initial ruling, while the results of the standard drug test are
				pending. If the licensee's standard drug test returns a negative result, the
				licensee's suspension remains lifted.
(B) If the standard drug test returns a
				positive result, the stewards will enter an amended ruling suspending the
				licensee until such time as a standard drug test, which shall be done by the
				commission testing laboratory at the licensee's expense, returns a negative
				result.
The licensee is only allowed one (1) immediate drug test,
				  which is to be taken at the end of the initial thirty (30) day
