IL HB3406

Establishes a statewide suspicion-based substance abuse screening and testing pilot program for all applicants and recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits, subject to appropriations.

Requires the Department of Human Services to screen applicants and recipients for substance abuse suspicion using an empirically validated screening tool at time of application and annual eligibility redetermination.

Mandates substance abuse testing for applicants or recipients if screening results give the Department reasonable suspicion of controlled substance use.

Makes applicants or recipients ineligible for benefits if they refuse to take the substance abuse test, but allows reapplication after 6 months if they test negative for controlled substances.

Requires the Department to pay for the cost of substance abuse tests administered to applicants or recipients who test negative for controlled substance use.
