Charleston, SC 29420 N/A North Charleston, 29420 SC 29420 coocreek@aol.com 843-243-0182 n/a The Honorable Nikki R. Haley Office of the Governor 1205 Pendleton Street Columbia, South Carolina 29201 At least thirteen states have passed legislation regarding drug testing or screening for public assistance applicants or recipients (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah.) Some apply to all applicants; others include specific language that there is a reason to believe the person is engaging in illegal drug activity or has a substance use disorder; others require a specific screening process. None of these proposals became law because most of the legislation was focused on "suspicion less" or "random" drug testing. Shouldn't they have to pass a drug test to collect a welfare check since we have to pass one to earn it for them? 66.56.150.193
