Voters have long asked me why we can't drug test those on state assistance? Rep. Rich Wills has introduced such a bill that asked that the Department of Health and Welfare to:
"DRUG TESTING - COST STUDY - Stating findings of the Legislature and requesting the Department of Health and Welfare to undertake a study of the cost of implementing a random drug testing program of adults receiving public assistance and requesting the department to report its findings to the Legislature."
HCR 55 has passed the House. I like the bill. How can we really help someone on public assistance unless we understand their problems? If someone has a drug problem, we can't help them until we know.
