Blood drug test

The legislation, HB 354, would require that any living body who was convicted of a controlled substance crime involving distribution of a controlled substance for that they could have been denied eligibility for treaty benefits to submit to drug testing if their conviction was in the last five years. In essence, anyone convicted of distributing a controlled substance would be required to disclose that they have been convicted and, whether the conviction was in the last five years, they would hold to submit to testing.

If an individual tests positive for a controlled substance that isn’t prescribed, they would be ineligible for benefits for a year. Those who pass a drug test would be required to submit to monthly drug tests while receiving benefits.
There are a couple of things to note about this bill-hook. In careful, record that it uses the term “controlled substance,” which, under Texas law, has a specific meaning. We would assume, seeing that the Texas Controlled Substances Act defines controlled substances by schedules, that marijuana is not covered by Brown’s legislation.

Second, this bill is self-defeating. It is designed to cease progress people from using drugs and being involved in the sale of narcotics. However, it really does little other than contribute to the viscous cycle that keeps people selling and doing drugs. Food Stamps are designed to serve people get on their feet on the supposition that they are having financial difficulties–even if working. Requiring monthly unsalable article tests will take someone away from their to be expected low-wage job once a month, meaning they obtain less or, eventually, lose that job (the law provides no protection against individuals who have to miss work to take the tests) and are forced into a position where selling drugs again becomes an appealing way to feed their family.
