Suspension of benefits for an individual who fails to take or pass drug tests

[Colt]

Legislation designed to keep unemployment checks out of the hands of those testing positive for illegal substances passed a key Senate committee SE Indiana Capitol Report

This seems like a common sense bill to discourage drug abuse.

I am all for it. **** hot, dont get your check. Then again, I think that ALL entitlement programs should be shut down. Get a job and stop living off of me.

The people that have jobs, have to be drug tested, So should the people that get welfare checks

Both my wife and I had to pass not only a **** test but a background check for our jobs. My wife is a paramedic and she is randomly drug tested. IMHO, the tyrants in DC should be drug tested MONTHLY. You know I would even not mind to foot the bill to do the blood test, AFTER a **** strip has been tested. Oh and another thing, you get tested monthly, but you are also subject to random testing. If you pop positive EVEN ONCE, you are IMMEDIATELY removed from your position and can NEVER receive another PENNY from the government, grants, student loans, whatever.

Oh and that will include the POTUS, Supremes, etc... Cant have dopers running the country...

WORTHLESS TYRANTS ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, though I'm sure some idiot liberal judge somewhere sometime is going to rule that drug testing is an invasion of the welfare recipient's privacy.

 

[LEaSH]

This idea has been around for awhile and I hope the legislation gets some momentum.

I wonder which "rights" groups will try to fight this.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

Even though I believe the prohibition of most drugs is a ridiculous systematic flaw...

I see no problem with this legislation. People sign up for these programs voluntarily, so nobody is being "forced" to do anything.

I think it is more political gesture than reality... and I think we should all invest in companies that produce the products that help people pass drugs tests if this is going to be passed... because, like everything else, drug tests are not perfect.

I would love for something like this to pass. If you have money for dope then you have money for everything else too and don't need my assistance to support your deadbeat ass. I am subject to random drug tests and have never flunked any of them. I agree with a lot of people on here for any government handout random whiz quiz's should be mandatory and if you flunk your done for life.

Oh I am sure it is rapped up somewhere in obama care aswell.....for a free country the goverment is controling alot of freedoms. In the old days if you didnt like the rules of the state you just moved to the next state now the goverment controls it all and states just fall in line. I am not saying make all drugs legal but we spend just as much on prisons for non violent crimes for instants weed. If it was made legal you could atleast tax it and free up a ton of space in prison. Ofcourse we all are fine when it comes to prescription drugs and that is now a rehab nitemare but a win win for the drug companys and the state aswell as insurance. oh not to mention last year my company spent $207,000 dollars on urine test. Its all to much where did we go wrong in this country of half truths on freedom and rights.

 

[Leadeye]

Never going to pass, too many people with too much invested in keeping the system the way it is or expanding it. Lawyers will be all over this with everything from rights to racism. They will make a fortune if it passes.

We went wrong when we stopped H A N G I N G criminals

It would be nice to make a state program where you still have to show up somewhere every day to apply for work not just sittn at home and wait for check. Maybe just like probation you show up for an asigned job be it trash pick up on side of road or grass cutting to stuffing letters or sorting mail just do something for your so called free money. just something any ideas on that other than some pee test that isn't going to be monitored and they will just pour someone elses pee in and pass and get their check.

Ya was the cheapest way....and you can recycle the rope over and over.

If you pay into unemployment, you shouldn't have to take any sort of test to get your money back out.

We should just end every program where the government takes your money, pays themselves with it, and somehow has more money to give back to you and all the people who can't afford to pay into these programs. Math isn't very important to our government.

Really? Done for life, huh? I'd reserve "done for life" for the rapists and murderers. You think we should lump people in with them for smoking pot? That's scary. Who else should be "done for life"?

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

I guess the only thing I need to know...

Is how much will this COST me...

I have a feeling it isn't going to save all the money people would like it to...

Somehow, the government will find a way to make this cost me more money...

 

[Bunnykid68]

I do not care if someone abuses alcohol or drugs, but if you want something most people have to work for, they have to pass a test just like the working class

As a individual you pay nothing into the unemployment fund, it is business funded.
