drug test

Out of 443 people tested in three counties, only ONE was found to have "reasonable suspicion" of drug use.

The Michigan State Police are hoping to start the pilot program sometime in late summer or early this fall.

Many businesses require employees to pass a drug test as a condition of employment. Now a Michigan legislator has proposed that welfare recipients test clean in order to receive benefits.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a law which requires the state's welfare recipients to take a drug test in order to receive benefits. In June, Florida Governor Rick Scott said the law requires residents be accountable, and noted that it isn't right for taxpayers to subsidize drug users' habits.

A new law in Florida, which goes into effect on July 1st, will require adults who apply for help from the Department of Children and Family Services to submit to drug testing.  In essence, the law says that assistance recipients have to be clean in order to begin or continue receiving benefits.
