Amends the Temporary Assistance for Needy Family Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Human Services to develop a program to screen and test each applicant or recipient who is otherwise eligible for TANF benefits and who the Department has reasonable suspicion to believe, based on the screening, engages in the unlawful use or consumption of controlled substances. Provides that any applicant or recipient who is found to have tested positive for the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled substance shall, after an administrative hearing conducted by the Department, be declared ineligible for TANF benefits for a period of one year from the date of the administrative hearing decision. Grants the Department the authority to require an applicant or recipient who tested positive for the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled substance to enter a substance abuse program approved by the Department as a condition of continued eligibility for TANF benefits.
