Michigan House Approves Welfare Drug Test Bill

July 16th

LANSING, MI — The Republican-controlled Michigan House Friday approved a bill that would allow for the suspicion-based drug testing of welfare recipients. The bill, House Bill 4118, now heads to the state Senate.

The bill would set up a pilot program in three counties, to be evaluated after one year. The Department of Human Services would report results to the legislature.

It would require new welfare applicants to undergo a screening for drug use using an “empirically validated substance abuse screening tool,” and if the screening indicates the likelihood of drug use, “the applicant is required to take a substance abuse test.” The same procedure would apply to existing welfare recipients, who would be required to be screened annually.

Drug testing would be paid for by the state, unless the applicant or recipient tested positive. In that case, he or she would have to pay for the test.

People who tested positive on a drug test could continue to receive benefits if they enter drug treatment, while those refusing or failing to follow treatment would lose their benefits.

The Michigan legislature is following in the footsteps of a handful of other states that have passed public benefits drug testing bills. This despite evidence in recent weeks that such programs have few tangible benefits.

Curtis Kile, 52, said he left his Taylor, Michigan home June 14 on a mission to steer his motorized wheelchair to the White House for a chat with President Barack Obama about nationwide legalization of marijuana, which he said has been instrumental in his treatment, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.

Kile said Saturday in Hagerstown, Md., he is hoping to roll up to the White House and meet with Obama July 4.

The man’s son, Curtis Kile Jr., 17, is serving as his support crew, driving a Ford Econoline van alongside his father’s wheelchair.

Kile said the White House hasn’t responded to any of his communication efforts, but he is hopeful that his journey will help his cause.

“The alcohol industry doesn’t want it legal, and the pharmaceutical and the tobacco companies don’t want that, because it’s going to bite into their profits,” he said. “It’s the money that’s stopping it, and that’s wrong.”
