AG Sam Olens: State Cannot Enforce New Food Stamp Law
Monday, June 9th, 2014
Georgia’s Attorney General says the state cannot enforce some provisions of a new law requiring food stamp recipients to submit to drug testing before receiving benefits.
In a letter sent Friday, Sam Olens said that’s because federal law prohibits states from adding their own requirements to the Food Stamp program.
The decision comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration moved Monday to block the new law.
