A bill has been introduced in the Ohio legislature calling for mandatory drug testing of welfare recipients. Similar bills have been enacted in Florida and Missouri. Robert Hagan, an Ohio State Senator, thinks that anyone who gets public money should be tested. He has introduced a bill calling for drug testing for "statewide elected officials, legislators, JobsOhio board members and recipients of federal corporate bailout money (Troubled Asset Relief Program)". Hagan's bill calls for various penalties if the test shows drugs and/or alcohol in the body of the person being tested.
