| Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law a bill that requires drug tests from certain applicants for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, otherwise known as TANF. Although the bill is now law, it allows the state to write the rules on how to determine whether an applicant should be drug tested, a measure applicants would need to pay for whether or not they're found positive for drug use. After speaking at a Memorial Day ceremony outside Capitol Hill May 24, 2012, Haslam told reporters the state needs to find balance in trying to keep welfare recipients accountable.
