Bill > HCRes35

This concurrent resolution establishes a mandatory random drug testing program for all Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, requiring each member to undergo a drug test once per term. Under the program, any confirmed positive drug test result would be reported to the member and their respective Ethics Committee, with potential consequences for refusal to participate. A "confirmed positive result" is specifically defined as an initial positive test verified by a second test using a different chemical process and certified by a medical review officer, excluding legally prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Members would be responsible for reimbursing the cost of their drug test, and the House and Senate Ethics Committees would be responsible for publicly disclosing the identities of members who refuse to participate and taking appropriate disciplinary action. The resolution defines "controlled substance" according to the Controlled Substances Act and includes Delegates and Resident Commissioners in the definition of "Member". The random drug tests would be conducted periodically, without advance notice, and without individualized suspicion of drug use.
