HB 699 would require recipients of state public assistance and state administered federal public assistance provided by the Department of Human Services to submit to random drug testing.  The recipient would be required to pay for the cost of the drug test.  However, if he or she tests negative for controlled substances, the department would increase the amount of the benefit by the cost of the test.  

Recipients who fail a drug test would be given a list of licensed substance abuse treatment providers that are approved by the department.  The state would not be responsible for providing or paying for any substance abuse treatment.
