FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to provide for mandatory drug testing for certain TANF and
SNAP recipients.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. The Department of Social Services shall screen and test any adult recipient who
is otherwise eligible for temporary assistance for needy families cash benefits or for
supplemental nutrition assistance program cash benefits and who, the department has reasonable
cause to believe, engages in the illegal use of controlled substances. Any recipient who is found
to have tested positive for the use of a controlled substance that was not prescribed for the
recipient by a licensed health care provider is ineligible to receive benefits for a period of one
year. However, any aggrieved recipient is entitled to an administrative hearing to determine the
validity of the test and to contest the decision to suspend the benefits.
