HB 727 requires Tennessee's Department of Human Services to annually report to relevant legislative committees on the effectiveness of its drug testing program for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants. The bill mandates this report be submitted by December 1 each year, focusing on how well the drug testing program works within TANF. It updates state law (amending Titles 53, 68, and 71 of the Tennessee Code) to establish this reporting requirement. The bill does not change the drug testing program itself, only adding a transparency measure for lawmakers.
