Missouri House Bill No. 1280 Seeks to Punish Drug Test Cheats

Missouri State Rep. Jeff Roorda recently pre-filed House Bill No. 1280. If the bill is enacted it would add three new sections to the law relating to altering or falsifying drug or alcohol tests or test results, with penalty provisions. According to the Examiner.com, the bill will criminalize falsifying drug or alcohol test results, as well as make products designed to do so illegal. Sales or free distribution of such products would be a misdemeanor, while using such products would be a felony.

Utah Debates Drug Testing for Public Assistance

Utah has begun to follow the path that so many other states have traveled earlier this year. The path leads to drug testing for public assistance. Utah Senator Dennis Stowell had asked that the issue be studied carefully and Rep. Christopher Herrod said "If someone's on drugs, we shouldn't be giving them money," he said. "There's nowhere in the Constitution that says, 'You have a right to get welfare." At the center of the debate is cost and legality. An analyst for Community Action Partnership of Utah stated that "The cost to test all Utah’s families that receive 'Temporary Assistance for Needy Families' would be high." The analyst added, "That testing all welfare recipients just once would cost about $255,000 and a lawsuit against the state would likely cost more than $1 million."
