Michigan Senate OK's plan to cut off benefits for unemployed residents who fail drug tests

Michigan Senate OK's plan to cut off benefits for unemployed residents who fail drug tests | MLive.com:
 "Unemployed residents who fail or refuse to take a drug test required by a prospective employer could lose jobless benefits under a pilot program advanced Thursday by Michigan's Republican-led state Senate.

The measure, approved largely along party lines in a 28-10 vote, would treat failure or refusal to take a pre-employment drug test as proof that an individual "refused an offer of suitable work."
But it would not require businesses to report results of drug tests unless they choose to.

Democrats in both chambers have raised concerns about the bill"
