<span style="font-size: larger;">State officials are reconsidering drug testing for welfare recipients, a practice briefly implemented over a decade ago in Michigan but halted by the courts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Michigan's Department of Human Services wants to roll out a program requiring drug screening for individuals who receive aid from the Family Independence Program. That program provides financial support for pregnant women and low-income families with children.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">Those who fail the screening &mdash; a process that could be as simple as questions asked on an application form &mdash; would be required to undergo mandatory drug testing.</span><br />
