Extending program for drug screening of applicants for TANF

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Human Services to continue drug screening all adults who apply for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and defines what counts as a drug test. Applicants who test positive must enter treatment, counseling, and job‑skill programs, or they risk suspension or loss of benefits. The measure also protects children’s benefits and involves Child Protective Services if a parent’s benefits are suspended or terminated.
