The bill in question was submitted ot the WV state legislature for consideration. IN some articels over the last few days, one of the drg testing programs they are looking at costs $3.70 per test. That seems like a bargain for me. It also allows peopel to get cleaned up. If you fail a drug test a second time within 30 or 60 days ( i cannot remember whihc) you lose your benefits and cannot apply again for 2 years. I am actaulyl OK with this. Its not like they say if you fail once, you lose. They do give the people a chance.
