Description

Under existing law, there is no requirement that any adult applying for or receiving state subsidized health care benefits must be tested initially and periodically for substance abuse.

This bill would make such requirement and would provide for rescreening.

This bill would provide for the Alabama Department of Public Health to be responsible for testing; would provide that any positive test results are not admissible in any criminal proceeding; would provide that any adult who fails the test or refuses to take the test would be ineligible for state subsidized health care benefits; would provide for the payment of the tests; would provide for the Public Health Officer to promulgate rules pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act to implement this act; and would provide for exemptions.
