AMENDMENT OF IREDELL COUNTY'S WELFARE REFORM/WORK FIRST
PLAN: Don Wall mentioned that in an effort to become an electing county in the Welfare Reform
Plan that an amendment was needed. Basically, one word needed to be changed and this was
"testing." Instead of saying "mandatory drug testing," the plan should say "mandatory drug
screening." The recommended amendment would read:
Iredell County will follow State guidelines by completing substance
abuse screening forms AUDIT and DAST 10 and make referrals as
necessary to Mental Health. Once a recipient is identified as being a
substance abuser, or based upon reasonable suspicion is believed to be
a substance abuser, a mandatory drug test will be required.
