SB 4

Under this bill, to the extent allowed under federal law, the Department of

Administration shall require that public housing authorities do all of the following:

1. Conduct screening of adult residents to determine whether a resident is

able-bodied and either unemployed or underemployed.

2. Create an employability plan for each resident the housing authority

determines is able-bodied and either unemployed or underemployed and require the

resident to participate in the plan.

3. Require each resident the housing authority determines is able-bodied and

either unemployed or underemployed to complete a questionnaire or other screening

instrument concerning the abuse of controlled substances. If, on the basis of

screening results, the housing authority determines that there is a reasonable

suspicion that a resident is abusing a controlled substance, the housing authority

must require the resident to undergo a test for the use of a controlled substance. If

a resident tests positive for the use of a controlled substance, the housing authority

must offer the resident the opportunity to participate in substance abuse treatment

unless the resident has a valid prescription for the controlled substance.
