Bill overview
This bill would require random drug testing for adult recipients of Work First New Jersey program benefits. Adult recipients would be subject to testing as outlined in regulations developed by the Commissioner of Human Services. While test results wouldn't directly affect eligibility, individuals testing positive could be required to participate in an approved drug treatment program to maintain benefits. The state will cover the cost of these tests, and the Commissioner will seek necessary federal waivers to implement the program.
