Eliminating FSET drug testing requirement
2015 Wisconsin Act 55 required DHS to promulgate rules to develop and implement a drug screening, testing, and treatment policy, which DHS promulgated as ch. DHS 38, Wis. Adm. Code.
2017 Wisconsin Act 370 incorporated into statutes ch. DHS 38, relating to drug screening, testing, and treatment for recipients of the FoodShare employment and training program, known as FSET. FoodShare, also known as the food stamp program or the federal Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, provides financial assistance to purchase food items to individuals who have limited financial resources. This bill eliminates the requirement to implement a drug screening, testing, and treatment policy and removes from the statutes the language incorporated by Act 370.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
