State Republican Rep. Julie Willoughby has introduced a bill that would require all members of the Legislature to submit to random drug testing.
As the bill stands, it wouldn’t test for alcohol but would include marijuana despite being legal in the state.
GOP state Sen. John Kavanagh says he doesn’t believe drug testing is necessary.
"I can't remember in all my time there of any lawmaker that was even suspected of doing drugs. There might have been a few isolated instances of alcohol intoxication on the night the budget was done. But there is no history of any kind of abuse like that," Kavanagh said.
The bill has not been assigned to any committee.
