Testing plan for TANF benefits amid drug screening proposal
The draft bill would require positive drug screens for TANF recipients to enter substance abuse and job training programs, with benefits suspended after a second positive screen and terminated after a third. Refusal to test would render applicants ineligible, triggering a Child Protective Services review, while children remain eligible. A two year lockout applies to those found ineligible, with reapplication after completing treatment. Criminal penalties include misrepresentation as a misdemeanor with fines.
