This concurrent resolution would require all Members of Congress—both House and Senate—to submit to random drug testing for illegal controlled substances at least once per term. Each Member would bear the cost of their own test, and positive results would be reported to the respective chamber's ethics committee for review and potential disciplinary action. Members who refuse to participate would be publicly identified by their chamber's ethics committee, which would also take other appropriate action against them. The House and Senate administration committees would establish the specific rules and procedures for implementing the program, including standards for confirming positive results through multiple testing methods reviewed by a certified medical officer.
