HB 6106 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING PERIODIC TESTING OF ABLE-BODIED BENEFICIARIES OF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FOR ILLICIT DRUG USE.

HB 6106 requires periodic drug testing for able-bodied individuals receiving public assistance benefits, including medical aid. It directly affects people enrolled in programs like Medicaid who are physically capable of working. The bill mandates that beneficiaries undergo regular testing for illicit drugs as a condition to continue receiving benefits. Failure to comply could result in loss of assistance. This policy change shifts eligibility requirements to include drug screening for this specific group.
