A bill being discussed in the House could require applicants for unemployment benefits to submit to periodic drug testing.

HB 735 requires “periodic drug testing” for unemployment benefit applicants “to ensure that recipients are able and available to work.”

If the applicant’s former employer agrees to pay for the drug testing, the bill says, “Upon the initial filing of a claim for unemployment benefits, the individual must submit to and pass a drug test to establish that the individual is able and available for work.”
