Extending program for drug screening of applicants for TANF

Summary

The bill requires all adult applicants for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to be drug‑screened, and it removes the previous expiration date for the screening program. Applicants who test positive must complete treatment, counseling, and job‑skills programs to keep receiving benefits, while children’s benefits remain protected. It also sets up reporting, confidentiality, and enforcement rules, and it becomes effective 90 days after enactment.
