Welfare Drug Screening Bill Divides Lawmakers

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): An Indiana proposal to screen welfare recipients for addictions and limit food stamp use to nutritional foods only is moving to the state Senate despite questions about its constitutionality and cost. The bill co-authored by Republican Representative Jud McMillin of Brookville calls for those who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to fill out a questionnaire that screens for substance abuse. The House has already approved the measure.
