Requirement to Drug Test Applicants for Temporary Assistance (SB 292) - FACT SHEET
Call Your Representative This legislation is based on the myth that large numbers of our neediest citizens are using public benefits to purchase illegal drugs. This would require that all applicants seeking temporary assistance for needy families or Medicaid benefits submit to a drug test. The applicant seeking temporary assistance will be forced to pay for the drug test. A federal judge in Florida found a similar statute to be unconstitutional(OPPOSE)
Requirement to Participate in "Personal Growth Activities" in Exchange for Food Stamps and Temporary Assistance (SB 312)

This applies to applicants who are working less than 30 hours per week. (OPPOSE)
