White House President's Commission on Model State Drug Laws: Drug-Free Families,Schools, and Workplaces

摘要

The 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Amendments created a six month bipartisan presidentialcommission to develop state legislative responses to the drug problem. Funded in 1991, the 23 member Commission was sworn in on November 16, 1992. The Drug-Free Families, Schools, and Workplaces hearing was held on March 31, 1993 in Washington, DC. Oral and written testimony was received. Witnesses discussed the role of the religious community with regards to alcohol and other drug abuse, children of alcoholics, the effect of alcohol and other drugs on the family, the funding of drug-free family initiatives, drug-free initiatives in Washington, DC, creating and maintaining drug-free schools, drug-free workplace policies, drug-testing, and substance abuse programs, and labor and management partnerships in drug-free workplaces. Several months of review, analysis and drafting have culminated in model drug-free families, schools, and workplaces act recommended by the Commission and discussed in Volume V of the Commission's Final Report.
