Exposing Congressional Drug Abuse Act

HCONRES 35, the Exposing Congressional Drug Abuse Act, would require all members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate - including delegates and resident commissioners - to undergo random, unannounced drug tests once per legislative term. Confirmed positive results for illegal drugs (verified by a second test and medical review) would be shared with the member and their chamber's ethics committee, which must publicly disclose any refusal to test. Members would cover the cost of their own tests, and ethics committees would take appropriate action against those who decline participation. This procedural resolution aims to establish internal drug testing standards for congressional members.
