is determined by a chemical test to have a concentration of any of | 11 |
the controlled substances specified in division (A)(1)(j) of | 12 |
section 4511.19 of the Revised Code, or metabolites of such a | 13 |
controlled substance, in the individual's urine that equals or | 14 |
exceeds any of the applicable levels established in that division | 15 |

(B) Notwithstanding any other section of the Revised Code and | 26 |
subject to divisions (C) and (D) of this section, a state agency | 27 |
operating a need-based program that provides cash assistance, | 28 |
medical assistance, housing assistance, food assistance, or energy | 29 |
assistance shall require each individual eighteen years of age or | 30 |
older who applies for the program to undergo, as a condition of | 31 |

food assistance, or energy assistance that is funded in whole or | 50 |
in part with federal funds shall seek federal approval to make | 51 |
division (B) of this section apply to the program unless the | 52 |
federal agency responsible for the program's administration is not | 53 |
authorized by federal law, expressly or otherwise, to grant such | 54 |
approval. | 55 |
