Authorizes courts to require drug testing for parents in custody cases.
This bill allows courts to mandate drug testing for parents as part of a custody order. The court determines the duration and frequency of the testing based on what it believes is in the child's best interest. The results of these tests are confidential and only shared with the parties involved in the custody proceeding. If a parent fails a drug test, the court may adjust the custody order. The parent ordered to undergo testing must cover the costs.
