---

Spectrum: Moderate Partisan Bill (Republican 9-2)
Status: Introduced on February 12 2010 - 25% progression, died in chamber
Action: 2010-02-26 - Motion to discharge committee laid over on House Calendar (Roll Call 90)

The purpose of this bill is to create a random drug testing program for applicants and recipients of temporary assistance for needy families cash benefits and for elected officials. Any applicant or recipient who fails an initial drug test will be required to pass a second drug test in the following thirty to sixty days to maintain eligibility for or recipients of such benefits. Failing the secondary drug test results in ineligibility for benefit for a period of two years, and requires a mandatory drug test as part of a reapplication for benefits. Legislators shall be required to submit to drug testing. Any legislator who fails two consecutive drug tests must forfeit all pay and allowances. §4-1-24 and §9-3-6 are new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
