Introduced by: Stephen H. Martin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Study; drug testing of temporary cash assistance recipients. Directs the Commission on Federal Block Grant Programs to study the drug testing of recipients of temporary cash assistance in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The study shall include consideration of the fiscal and policy implications of testing new applicants for, as well as current recipients of, cash assistance, for use of controlled substances; the constitutionality of any testing programs; the need for drug treatment linkages; and the impact on the families if the sanction used is reducing the benefits of those who test positive. This study was incorporated into SJR 356 to be studied by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, with the assistance of the Advisory Commission on Welfare Reform.
