AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to require the state department (likely the Department of Human Services) to submit an annual report by December 1st to legislative committees about the effectiveness of the drug testing program for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants. TANF is a federal assistance program that provides financial support to low-income families with children. The bill adds a new reporting requirement to existing law, mandating that the department provide an annual assessment of its drug testing program for TANF recipients to the relevant senate and house committees. This reporting requirement is designed to increase transparency and provide legislators with insights into the implementation and outcomes of the drug testing program. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in Section 2, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare.
