[quote=Anonymous][quote]What we need to do is change the law, so that this is not happening at such a great frequency. In 2011, FL enacted their drug testing policy for people applying for assistance. In short, every person that was applying would have to pay for a drug test. If the drug test came back as negative, then the state would refund them the cost of the test with the first assistance payment. If the person tested positive and the applying party had minor dependents, the state would release the funds to a responsible person who could pass a drug test. [/quote] They also had to stop doing it because the courts found it unconstitutional, and because the pilot found that the rate of positives was incredibly low compared to the cost of drug testing everyone. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/05/us/politics/florida-drug-testing-law-is-dropped.html In fact, research has shown that welfare recipients use drugs at a LOWER rate than the general population.
