The Arizona Senate has approved a measure requiring a drug test for everyone applying for unemployment benefits.

A bill to require random drug testing for recipients of two welfare programs is expected to be revived next year, but opponents argue that based on similar laws in other states, it would likely be ruled unconstitutional and not be cost-effective.

The results of last month’s Corp Comm drug tests came in yesterday and, as promised, the Republican commissioners and staffers who submitted to the screening made the results public.

The state Department of Public Safety has denied a request from Arizona's top utility regulator to send a drug-sniffing dog to his office.
