OKLAHOMA CITY - Starting Nov. 1, the state will screen all adult applicants for an assistance program for needy families for illegal drugs under a law Gov. Mary Fallin signed Wednesday.


The drug-screening law will ensure that welfare checks will not be used to buy drugs, Fallin said.

"Hard-working taxpayers shouldn't be asked to subsidize drug abuse, and this bill will help to ensure they are not," Fallin said.

The bill is substantially less stringent than a version passed by the state House earlier this year. That measure would have mandated drug testing for all applicants for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

What we really need is to drug test our politicians, then we'd get somewhere

1. Will they be testing elected officials?

And are these drugs only the illegal kind?

2. No to the elected officials drug test

not sure about the type of drugs, if its only the illegal ones or not. I suspect it is though.
Every since this woman has been elected we've taken a nose dive for the worst. Our schools are starving for money, our roads are a shame, our infrastructure is falling apart but yet this governor wants to cut our income taxes.

Please fellow Okies wake the fuck up and get rid of the likes of her.

3. SS and Medicare recipients will come next

That is where this is going.
