H4043-Stop the attacks on the unemployed
Stop the attacks on the unemployed, they have paid into unemployment and should receive it without taking drug tests with no proven study or evidence that it is needed.
Why is this important?
SC lawmakers are trying to pass an outrageous copycat bill that Florida passed last year where people that receive unemployment insurance will have to pass a drug test to receive benefits. There is no proof or empirical evidence that people that receive unemployment insurance use more drugs than people who do not. So far in Florida 98 % who have taken drug tests to receive benefits have been passed. its time we stop sterotyping people who are unemployed and stop wasting taxpayer time with bills that have no impact on the people, and get to working on bills that do.
