A coalition of Governors from 10 states is urging leaders in Congress to support legislation confirming states’ rights to drug test Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP, recipients. Lead by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, the group, is urging lawmakers to support legislation authored by Alabama Republican Congressman Robert Aderholt, which they say confirms states’ rights to drug test SNAP recipients. In a letter sent to leaders in Congress, the governors say they believe Congress specifically gave states the flexibility to decide whether to implement such actions in the 1996 Welfare Reform Act. Governors signing the letter along with Walker include those from Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah.
