Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is pushing ahead with a plan to require drug testing of some food stamp applicants despite the fact that federal law currently prohibits it.
Walker has submitted a plan to the state legislature which would require able-bodied applicants to the state’s Food Share program to pass drug tests. The legislature has to object within 120 days or the plan will become law, according to the Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel, adding that actual testing wouldn’t begin for another year.
